Bio-oil and biochar from the pyrolytic conversion of biomass: A current and future perspective on the trade-off between economic, environmental, and technical indicators

Arun Krishna Vuppaladadiyam et al.

Summary: The conversion of biomass into renewable value-added products has the potential to meet high energy demands, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and exploit under-utilized resources. Techno-economic analysis (TEA) and life-cycle assessment (LCA) are important tools for evaluating the commercialization potential of biomass pyrolysis. It is crucial to consider both economic and environmental indicators to assess the performance and constraints of this technology. Additionally, the upstream and downstream processes play a significant role in understanding the life cycle impacts and overall potential of biomass pyrolysis systems.

Fast pyrolysis of raw and acid-leached sugarcane residues en route to producing chemicals and fuels: Economic and environmental assessments

Lizet Rodriquez-Machin et al.

Summary: This study investigates the economic and environmental issues associated with a pyrolysis plant for processing sugarcane residues. It is found that the process economy heavily depends on bio-oil composition, yield, feedstock cost, and leaching conditions. Bio-oil from L-SCT and L-SCB contains more than 30 wt% levoglucosan and can be used to produce fermentable sugars or other valuable chemicals. The environmental impacts of L-SCB and L-SCT are higher than for raw biomass, with the highest impact attributed to citric acid production chain, biomass transport, and harvesting operations.

A perspective on catalytic hydropyrolysis of biomass

Magnus Zingler Stummann et al.

Summary: Catalytic hydropyrolysis has shown promise as a method for producing liquid hydrocarbon fuels from lignocellulosic biomass, but there is still limited research in this field and the process remains not well-understood. Through analysis of literature and laboratory research, a mechanistic model for catalytic hydropyrolysis of biomass has been proposed, along with discussions on the influence of hydrogenation catalyst on product distribution and catalyst deactivation. Comparisons with other pyrolysis technologies have been made, highlighting and discussing the challenges for catalytic hydropyrolysis.

Supercritical extraction of biomass as an effective pretreatment step for the char yield control in pyrolysis

Anna Trubetskaya et al.

Summary: The coupling of supercritical carbon dioxide extraction with pyrolysis is an effective method for removing extractives from forestry residues and generating solid char with different properties. The impact of extractives on the morphology and yield of solid chars in fast pyrolysis is significant. Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction can be integrated in biorefinery as a pretreatment step to control the properties of pyrolysis products by varying the heating rate.
