Biomass fast pyrolysis is potentially one of the cheapest routes toward renewable liquid
fuels. Its commercialization, however, poses a multi-scale challenge, which starts with the …

Biomass is considered to have potential to be used as an alternative energy source. High
carbon content present in biomass converts it into high energy biochar on thermochemical …

In this work about pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass, the individual reaction mechanisms of
cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are initially described. The recent advances in the …

Biomass as a form of energy source may be utilized in two different ways: directly by burning
the biomass and indirectly by converting it into solid, liquid or gaseous fuels. Pyrolysis is an …

This paper provides a review of pyrolysis technologies, focusing on reactor designs and
companies commercializing these technologies. The renewed interest in pyrolysis is driven …

This review presents and discusses the progress in combining fast pyrolysis and catalytic
hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) to produce liquid fuel from solid, lignocellulosic biomass. Fast …

Biomass pyrolysis is a fundamental thermochemical conversion process that is of both
industrial and ecological importance. From designing and operating industrial biomass …

This review reports the state of the art in modeling chemical and physical processes of wood
and biomass pyrolysis. Chemical kinetics are critically discussed in relation to primary …

Biomass pyrolysis is a thermochemical conversion process that undergoes a complex set of
concurrent and competitive reactions in oxygen-depleted conditions. A considerable amount …

A key element in the design of sustainable pyrolysis processes is the thermal degradation
kinetics of biomass. In this work, pyrolysis tests for cardoon (Cynara carduculus) stems and …
