Abstract
Engineering a system solution of the biomass pyrolysis process requires thorough investigation of the possible end-use applications of the biomass pyrolysis products (bio-oils and bio-char) in order to determine the most feasible and greenhouse gas abating options for their use. This work investigates the biomass pyrolysis process of three potentially applicable energy crop species and provides characterization of the biooil and biochar products of pyrolysis. The analysis suggests that the biochar contains the OH, aromatic C=C and inorganic Si-O-Si bonds. The biooil samples exhibited much more complex structure and were highly variable in composition suggesting requirement for their further upgrading.
