“…were used to evaluate the benefits of using pyrolysis to convert biomass to different types of fuels. 287 The main aim of the pyrolysis process is to obtain engine fuel. However, due to the difficulties and the high expenses of upgrading, the production of biochar and chemicals has also been investigated in the literature.…”

“…The central part of the pyrolysis process is the reactor used, where the thermal conversion reactions occur. Many reactors are used in the pyrolysis process, such as entrained flow reactor, fluidized bed reactor, fixed bed reactor, autoclave, rotating cone reactor, and plasma reactor [40]. These reactors can be classified into subcategories according to the flow of material and phenomena, such as circulating, co-current, counter-current, and crossflow.…”

This chapter provides an overview of current efforts and advances as well as environmental and economic aspects of fast pyrolysis and hydrothermal processing, which are potential technologies for bioenergy production, mainly bio-oil and syngas. Biomass is presently the primary bioenergy resource in the world. The chapter presents a brief discussion of sources and compositions of biomass. Biomass is converted to various products using thermochemical conversions. Pyrolysis is a thermochemical process that converts biomass into carbon-rich solid residue, condensable vapors, and non-condensable gases in the absence of oxygen. It is a promising technology for converting biomass into renewable biofuels with environmental and economic advantages. Pyrolysis processes are classified based on their operating conditions and desired products. Two thermochemical processes, fast pyrolysis and hydrothermal processing are reviewed. Fast pyrolysis produces a higher quantity and quality of bio-oil and syngas than slow and intermediate pyrolysis processes. Hydrothermal processing converts wet biomass into carbonaceous biofuel. The ability to produce higher-value bioenergy by these pyrolysis technologies depends on the feedstock and operating condition of the pyrolysis processes. This chapter will present the most promising features of fast pyrolysis and hydrothermal processing along with their optimal pyrolysis conditions in maximizing the production of biofuels.

“…11 Research and development has been conducted to support the commercialization of biomass fast pyrolysis to produce bio-oil. 12 The Py-ECH system combines localized fast pyrolysis and subsequent electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] with centralized petroleum renery-style hydroprocessing to produce "drop-in" liquid hydrocarbon fuels. While fast pyrolysis deconstructs the biomass to liquid bio-oil, solid biochar, and non-condensable gases, ECH employs mild conditions to hydrogenate and upgrade the energy content of the bio-oil so that it is stable for storage and transport to a central renery.…”
