Bio-char refineries: an accessible approach for the development of biomass-based industry

Stamatov, Venelin; Rocha, Jose Dilcio - In: International Journal of Global Energy Issues 27 (2007) 2, pp. 217-230

Being a by-product of the well-established charcoal industry, slow pyrolysis bio-oil can be an excellent, cost-effective and renewable liquid fuel. However, even in Brazil, a country with a very clean energy profile and large-scale charcoal production, bio-oil is not properly utilised yet. A...

A comparison of fast and slow pyrolysis liquids from mallee

Bridgwater, A.V.; Carson, P.; Coulson, M. - In: International Journal of Global Energy Issues 27 (2007) 2, pp. 204-216

An exploratory comparative study of the fast and slow pyrolysis of eucalyptus mallee has been carried out to explore the differences in liquid yields and characteristics. The study focused on the liquid products, which were fully characterised and good mass balance closures were achieved. The...

The production of biofuels and renewable chemicals by fast pyrolysis of biomass

Bridgwater, A.V. - In: International Journal of Global Energy Issues 27 (2007) 2, pp. 160-203

Bio-energy can provide more renewable energy requirements than any other technology. This paper focuses on fast pyrolysis as the only thermal process that directly delivers a high yield of liquid. This can be used on site or transported to centralised facilities for utilisation. This offers the...
