Here, we report an efficient catalytic process that operates on a bi-metallic ZSM-5 supported catalyst (0.1Ga–1Zn/ZSM-5) for 100% carbon conversion of glycerol to produce 71.4C% liquid fuel-stock possessing a high concentration of alkyl-aromatics and octane potential (>97 RON) for fuel applications, achieved and reported for the first time to the best of our knowledge. In addition, the H2-rich (36 mol%) gas stream produced as a byproduct is attractive for green fuel applications. The process adds up to an ∼80% increase in the value addition of bio-glycerol, which improves the overall fuel yield of the biodiesel production process towards improved atom efficiency and process economy.
