What is Biomass Pyrolysis

Chapter 4
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology for Stationary Applications
Represents the biomass conversion technology through the process of thermal degradation of waste in the absence of air to produce pyrolysis fuel (bio-oil), charcoal (char) and syngas (for example, conversion of wood to charcoal).

Abstract
The renewable energy for the production of syngas (synthetic gas) by gasification of biomass has specific features and objectives. The present chapter aims to describe the specific features of renewable energy for the production of syngas by gasification of biomass. The specific objective refers to the study of the equipment for the production of synthetic gaseous fuels (syngas) by gasification of biomass. The “biomass” term can be defined generically as the biodegradable part of agricultural products, residues and waste, gathering both animal and plant substances, wood industry, and also the biodegradable component of urban and industrial waste. Biomass sources are the most found renewable resources on Earth, also including all the organic components resulted from the organism's metabolic process, being the first resource of energy man has used, since the discovery of fire.
