Pyrolysis of Biomass Using Renewable Energy as A Heating Medium : A Review

Addressing the emissions of greenhouse gases resulting from the over use of traditional fossil energy sources is now one of the most challenging issues. If fossil fuels continue to be the primary source of energy, there will be ongoing long-term development and environmental problems until alternative energy options are created. Biomass is considered a sustainable and potentially valuable long-term energy supply that may be integrated into our existing energy portfolio. Pyrolysis is a thermo-chemical process used to convert raw feedstock into biofuels of greater value. Moreover, the treatment of biomass usually requires thermal energy, which is often obtained from non-renewable fossil fuels. This reduces the efficiency of conversion and has harmful impacts on the environment. The use of solar radiation to boost the conversion of biomass via thermo-chemical processes significantly enhances overall sustainable development and external evaluation. This research explores solar-based technologies and their potential use in the consumption and transmission of biomass using solar energy. The following article examines the outcomes of several techniques for converting biomass into sustainable energy using pyrolysis.
