Low-pressure Two-stage Catalytic Hydropyrolysis of Lignin and Lignin-derived Phenolic Monomers using Zeolite-based Bifunctional Catalysts

•Low pressure catalytic hydropyrolysis of lignin produced aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons.•HZSM-5, and bifunctional MoO3/ZSM-5 and Ni/ZSM-5 catalysts were used.•High yield (42.24 C%) of hydrocarbons was obtained from corn stover lignin.•The effects of lignin methoxyl groups to the valuable products yield were investigated by phenol model compound study.
