Abstract:The agave plant’s economic chain generates a significant waste, which has potential for sustainable bioenergy through pyrolysis. However, the diversity and heterogeneity of chemical composition of agave species may pose challenges. This study investigates the impact of species heterogeneity on the pyrolysis of three different agave species (Agave sisalana, Agave tequilana, and Agave wercklei), aiming to correlate pyrolysis and biomass properties. Solid characterization and Py-GC/MS were used to understand agav… Show more
