Burn, baby, burn! A new bifunctional catalyst (Ga/ZSM‐5) displays increased selectivity for the production of aromatic compounds during the catalytic fast pyrolysis of biomass. With this Ga‐promoted ZSM‐5 catalyst, olefins such as ethylene and propylene, which are produced as intermediates, are more efficiently converted into aromatic compounds, especially benzene. Ga/ZSM‐5 also promotes decarbonylation and olefin‐aromatization reactions.
