Biodiesel yields more energy than is used in its production: 320% more! This includes all the energy used to grow it, 34 make it, transport it and distribute it Biogas 35 Biomass pyrolysis • Pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of biomass occurring in the absence of oxygen • The products of biomass pyrolysis include biochar, bio-oil and gases including methane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide • Pyrolysis will yield mainly biochar at low temperatures, less than 450 0C, when the heating rate is quite slow, and mainly gases at high temperatures, greater than 800 0C, with rapid heating rates • At an intermediate temperature and under relatively high heating rates, the main product is bio-oil 36 37 38 39 40 .. .Chapter 5: RENEWABLE MATERIALS AND GREEN CHEMISTRY A raw material as feedstock should be renewable
