Two problems with your theory. Every low temp fast pyrolysis I've found makes at least as much fuel as USSE's and most more. The range (from DEA) is 70-90% oil by weight. JR's makes around 66% I believe. All systems use a catalyst -- most that I know use silica. Fast pyrolysis oil can also run both gasoline and diesel engines (but can't be mixed with them).

Second, all fast pyrolysis systems processing biomass to oil qualifies for the same green credits USSE/SSTP does. The trick for all is to sell the byproducts.

JR made a huge deal out of his secret catalyst until it was pointed out that any lab could identify it from a sample of the oil. He then said that the real secret is enzymes and they were distroyed by the process. He has now added nanoparticles which produce calcium over a period of twenty years or so except in zero gravity.

If you want to know what's special and truly remarkable about JR's fuel, it's that it contains essentially no water while "regular" pyrolysis contain beau coup. This is staggering and worth the price of admission.
