Warning: XL Gas turbine no longer accepts benzene in the current dev version. The latest version that is confirmed not to contain this change is 2.3.3.

The first step is creating Wood Tar and Charcoal from wood. Then send all the outgoing Charcoal to Fluid Extractors to be made into more Wood Tar, then send all of that into an MV Distillery to be made into Benzene. After having reached HV, the Distillery can be replaced with a Distillation Tower, which outputs Toluene, Phenol, Dimethylbenzene and Creosote alongside the Benzene. The first two are good fuels as well, alongside being useful for other chemistry.

Nitrobenzene is a upgrade from benzene and can be produced in a gt++ chemical plant (there is a recipe in the large chemical reactor but it should not be used if nitrobenzene is for powergen). ~~While~~ ~~it appears~~ to be a ~~significant~~ upgrade ~~from~~ benzene, it is ~~not~~ ~~very~~ ~~popular~~ as it ~~reduces~~ the ~~ease~~ of ~~scalability~~ of ~~benzene~~.

Nitrobenzene is a upgrade from benzene and can be produced in a gt++ chemical plant (there is a recipe in the large chemical reactor but it should not be used if nitrobenzene is for powergen). In comparison to benzene it can be used in XL Gas turbines, making it a direct upgrade to benzene power when moving from regualr gas turbines to XLGTs in IV. In 2.5.1 and 2.6.0 the nitrobenzene is by far the strongest power source in the IV-ZPM ages.
