Chemicals and Materials from Fast Pyrolysis of Biomass
Free webinar by IEA Bioenergy Task 34 held on 9 April 2024.
Fast pyrolysis of biomass has evolved into an established commercial process for liquefaction of biomass. Its liquid product is a standardized fuel for large scale boilers. Based on this success, other uses of the products from fast pyrolysis are being developed to enable a value added material use and/ or the production of chemicals. This webinar will present different approaches at varying stages of development to showcase emerging possibilities for applications that make use of the specific chemical characteristics of fast pyrolysis products.
