1-31. (canceled)
A method for producing a bio-oil from lignocellulosic matter, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) solvating hemicellulose from the lignocellulosic matter using a solvent;
- (b) removing solvated hemicellulose from solid matter remaining after step (a);
- and
- (c) solvating lignin and cellulose from the solid matter remaining after step (a) using a solvent at a reaction temperature of between 180° C. and 350° C. and a reaction pressure of between 8 MPa and 26 MPa,
- wherein step (c) of solvating lignin and cellulose produces the bio-oil.
