“…The emission of CO 2 estimated in this LCA study contributes 99.78 % of the GWP, with 98.49 % of CO 2 emitted due to the electricity consumption associated with equipment at the pretreatment stage and bio-oil production stage of the process. Similar situation is reported in the literatures (Fortier et al 2014;Ning et al 2013;Khoo 2009). As bio-char is produced as by-product in the process, its prospective application to the land is able to reduce atmospheric greenhouse gas levels (Hammond et al 2011).…”

“…Furthermore, a life cycle analysis (LCA) showed that pyrolysis oil from wood waste is environmentally friendly (Zhong et al, 2010). Ning et al (2013) also used LCA and confirmed that pyrolysis oil has a lower environmental impact compared to fossil fuels.…”

a b s t r a c tThe main barrier in the commercialization of phytoextraction as a sustainable alternative for remediating metal contaminated soils is its long time period, which can be countered by biomass valorization. From an environmental point of view, fast pyrolysis of the biomass is promising because its lower process temperature prevents metal volatilization. The remaining question is whether fast pyrolysis is also preferred from an economic point of view.Therefore, a techno-economic assessment of fast pyrolysis has been performed for a case study in the Campine region in Belgium. For this region, willow trees cultivated in short rotation have the right characteristics to serve as a phytoextracting crop. A techno-economic assessment requires by definition a multidisciplinary approach. The problem statement urges for a focus on the economic profitability from the viewpoint of an investor, including economic risk analysis.Fast pyrolysis seems more profitable than gasification. The profit is dependent on the scale of operation, the policy support (subsidies) and the oil yield. The economic risk can be reduced by increasing the scale of operation by means of complementing feedstocks, and by valorization of the char byproduct by subsequent processing to activated carbon.

“…The primary outputs of polymer pyrolysis are syngas (gaseous), tar (oil) and char (solid). The pyrolysis gas generated by polymers has a high heat value and can be utilized as fuel (Ning et al, 2013). The remaining carbide in solid fossil fuel also has a high heat value.…”
