“…Additionally, methane, and above all biomethane, constitute an important and future energy carrier. Zhang et al [44] proposed a new approach to the direct synthesis of methane-rich gases from reed pyrolysis performed under atmospheric pressure. Ni catalysts embedded in cane biocarbon were used.…”

Pyrolysis has been applied in the human economy for many years, and it has become a significant alternative to the production of chemical compounds, including biofuels. The article focuses mostly on recent achievements in the technical and processing aspects of pyrolysis. This review provides an overview of the recent advanced pyrolysis technology used in gas, bio-oil, and biochar production. The key parameters to maximize the production of specific chemical compounds were discussed and considered during the construction of the reactors. The emphasis is put on optimizing the process parameters, technical requirements, and renewable energy use in the process and conception to improve the efficiency of product production. The application of pyrolysis gas, oil, and biochar as valuable chemical compounds are related to the intensifying effects of climate change, biofuel production, and waste management in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.

“…Even though massive studies have focused on lignocellulosic biomass pyrolysis, the biggest challenge is about the high-efficiency conversion of lignin. Lignin accounting for 40% of energy (higher than that of polysaccharides) has been considered as the most promising source for biochemical platform and bioenergy due to its aromatic structure [ 107 , 108 ]. Nowadays, over 90% of lignin is burned with low efficiency, and only 2% of lignin is utilized efficiently due to its complex structure and low reactivity [ 109 , 110 ].…”

Lignin is a promising alternative to traditional fossil resources for producing biofuels due to its aromaticity and renewability. Pyrolysis is an efficient technology to convert lignin to valuable chemicals, which is beneficial for improving lignin valorization. In this review, pyrolytic behaviors of various lignin were included, as well as the pyrolytic mechanism consisting of initial, primary, and charring stages were also introduced. Several parallel reactions, such as demethoxylation, demethylation, decarboxylation, and decarbonylation of lignin side chains to form light gases, major lignin structure decomposition to generate phenolic compounds, and polymerization of active lignin intermediates to yield char, can be observed through the whole pyrolysis process. Several parameters, such as pyrolytic temperature, time, lignin type, and functional groups (hydroxyl, methoxy), were also investigated to figure out their effects on lignin pyrolysis. On the other hand, zeolite-driven lignin catalytic pyrolysis and lignin co-pyrolysis with other hydrogen-rich co-feedings were also introduced for improving process efficiency to produce more aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs). During the pyrolysis process, phenolic compounds and/or AHs can be produced, showing promising applications in biochemical intermediates and biofuel additives. Finally, some challenges and future perspectives for lignin pyrolysis have been discussed.

“…[7][8][9][10][11][12] On the other hand, >10 wt% of water is co-pro-duced during the production of lignin derivatives by direct pyrolysis of lignin or lignocellulosic biomass and a certain amount of generated lignin derivatives is miscible with water. [13][14][15][16][17][18] Therefore, direct HDO of lignin derivatives in water to avoid the energy-consuming separation process is highly desired for the maximum utilization of renewable carbon resources.…”
