“…The use of abundant and renewable organic resources, such as wastes from agriculture and forestry, as well as energy crops, allows for a reduction in reliance on finite fossil fuels, which is one of the advantages [106]- [108]. In addition, the production of biochar during the process of pyrolysis of biomass may contribute to the sequestration of carbon in the soil, therefore reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and enhancing the fertility of the soil [109], [110]. In addition, biomass pyrolysis provides an alternative source of energy, which is beneficial since it broadens the range of energy sources available and reduces dependency on fossil fuels, so enhancing energy security [111], [112].…”

Biomass, noted for its adaptability, has various applications in biofuel generation, industrial use, and environmental cleaning. This study looks into the multiple roles of biomass as a renewable energy source, with a particular emphasis on its vital contribution to biofuel production. Through a thorough evaluation of different conversion routes—thermal, biological, and physical—the study emphasizes thermochemical processes' efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability. Notably, technologies like gasification and quick pyrolysis are thoroughly investigated, followed by in-depth discussions of reactor optimization strategies to enhance performance and output. The complex structure of biomass, which is dominated by high-molecular-weight polysaccharides such as cellulose and hemicelluloses, demonstrates its significant potential for energy generation. Furthermore, the study categorizes biomass by content, origin, and conversion processes, resulting in a comprehensive inventory of available resources. Biomass from the agriculture and forestry industries, such as starch, sugar, lignocellulose, and organic wastes, is rigorously analyzed for energy production. Furthermore, various biomass processing techniques, including thermochemical, biochemical, and physicochemical conversions, are carefully tested in real-world applications to ensure their efficacy and viability. Beyond its importance in biofuel production, the article underlines biomass' versatility in satisfying industrial needs and contributing to environmental cleanup initiatives. This study lays the groundwork for informed decision-making and innovative solutions in various industries by providing a thorough understanding of biomass's various benefits and applications, including energy provision, industrial processes, and ecological restoration.

“…Although biomass decomposition can be challenging, lignocellulose valorization is still one of the most promising alternatives for meeting energy demands, wherein small pyrolysis plants intended to process agriculture and forestry wastes already exist . Numerous research studies have been developed to understand better the many aspects of biomass thermochemical conversion, whether identification and comparison of feedstock characteristics, investigation of mechanisms, optimal operational parameters, and paths to upgrade-derived products and strategic applications. , This study selected two agro-industry residues with distinct morphological features (corn cob and sunflower stem) to be evaluated as pyrolysis feedstock toward obtention of bio-oil, biochar, and biogas. The main purpose was to study the influence of the biomass type on bio-oil properties and composition and to identify the means to increase bio-oil yields and quality.…”

Using agro-industry residues as an energy source has been essential to replacing traditional fuels and developing resilient and sustainable socio-economic scenarios. The present work uses sunflower stem and corn cob as pyrolysis feedstocks to track the thermochemical synthesis of the renewable energy products bio-oil, biogas, and biochar and their relation to biomass components. Characterization and thermal degradation of biomass samples were provided by determining the elemental and lignocellulosic composition and thermogravimetric analysis. The three main products from pyrolysis conducted at 500 °C (biochar, bio-oil, and biogas) were evaluated for their yield, and the bio-oils were also characterized by Fourier transform infrared elementary analysis and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The obtained bio-oils showed similar profiles, presenting phenol and carboxylic acids as the major classes and the presence of alcohols and aldehydes. Therefore, outcomes allowed for understanding the thermal behavior of biomass components and the impact of different input materials on pyrolysis of product yield and properties.
