SOME KEY FEATURES OF BIOFUELS FROM THE PYROLYSIS AND BIOREFINERY OF BIOMASS – A PRELIMINARY REPORT
This project aims to demonstrate a low emission biofuel technology for the production of high quality liquid fuels and biochar from the pyrolysis of biomass and the subsequent biorefinery of the bio-oil. There is currently a lack of understanding about the properties of such biofuels (not to be confused with biodiesels) from the pyrolysis-biorefinery of lignocellulosic biomass. Therefore, a significant roadblock in the establishment of an Australian biofuel industry is the lack of confidence, which does not favour commercial investment in this area.
