The sentences
Non-catalytic gas-phase deconstruction methods, such as the homogeneous pyrolysis of lignin dispersed in the gas phase, as explored in the current paper, could become more practically significant as potential biodiesel surrogates if they achieve high yields and selectivity toward low-molecular-weight PAHs.
