Abstract

Fast pyrolysis technology had been studied extensively with a purpose to utilize biomass for fuel and energy application. The main product from this process, bio-oil can be further processed into transportation fuel, power generation and chemicals. The most challenging aspect is to develop an economic viable platform for processing capital. Biomass contains low energy content of ~150kg/m3, which corresponds to high transportation cost from source to processing plant. Conversion of biomass into liquid fuels can increase the energy content by 10 times higher and reduce transport cost up to 87 %.
