The foremost claims in all papers related to extraction of chemicals from bio-oil or hydrothermal liquefaction condensate is that they are incredible sources of fine chemicals and that they would have applications in pharmaceuticals and food industry.
How much of these claims are practically possible to meet considering the present scale of biomass conversion is limited to power and bio-fuel production?
If the potential of biomass is so immense how is the production so limited and the interest only academic?
I have a personal interest in this question because part of my research is to do with separation of organic chemicals from bio-oil and it seems like a very daunting task with no goal in sight.
The below mentioned review article answers some of these questions. Happy new year.

Also check out https://www.agrifutures.com.au/wp-content/uploads/publications/08-117.pdf . A bit old but issues discussed are still relevant.
There is need to consider trade-offs. Issues of sustainable biomass production and transport costs related to feedstock economics are relevant. It could be value-adding for biomass suppliers, but "costly" for bioenergy/biofuel producers.
It depends on what you are looking for. There are many articles online that will be helpful including Research Gate. Good luck
Dear Anubhuti,
There are plenty of done and ongoing projects in the commercialization of HTL and biofuel. Take a look at the below-mentioned link which is related to the NextGenRoadFuels project.
