“…Advanced control processes, such as catalytic fast pyrolysis, integrate fast pyrolysis and bio-oil upgrading into a single, streamlined step [12]. This innovative approach not only enhances the overall efficiency but also results in notable improvements in specific biofuel properties, including enhanced thermal stability and heating value, which can range from 18.8 to 34.6 MJ/kg [13,14]. Concurrently, diverse biochar engineering techniques have been devised to tailor specific physicochemical properties and sorption capacities, significantly broadening the spectrum of applications for biochar [15][16][17].…”

The production of biofuels and biochar through pyrolysis is a promising avenue for sustainable energy generation and waste management. However, this process can inadvertently release various air pollutants into the atmosphere, potentially compromising its environmental benefits. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the gas pollutants associated with pyrolysis for biofuel and biochar production, as well as different variables affecting gas emissions. Key pollutants such as particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) have been discussed in terms of their formations and emissions during pyrolysis processes. Furthermore, major factors influencing pollutant emissions, including feedstock composition, pyrolysis conditions, and combustion technologies have been examined with up-to-date examples. The review highlights the significance of emission control strategies, such as advanced reactor design, catalyst utilization, and the integration of realtime monitoring systems, in mitigating air pollution from pyrolysis processes. By shedding light on the environmental challenges associated with pyrolysis-based biofuel and biochar production, this article aims to encourage the development of cleaner and more sustainable approaches to harness the potential of solid waste conversion technologies.
