A Review on Biomass Fast Pyrolysis Oil Properties and Applications

Abstract:

Research and development in the fast pyrolysis of biomass has been absorbing substantial amounts of human and economic resources over the last two decades, resulting in notable advances in various areas including: characterization and upgrading of pyrolysis bio-oil; novel technologies capable of making use of the energy. This paper provides an updated review of its characteristics of biomass fast pyrolysis oil and a critical analysis of potential applications, such as diesel engines and turbine.
