Abstract EN
Biofuel produced by fast pyrolysis from biomass is a promising candidate.
The heart of the system is a reactor which is directly or indirectly heated to approximately 500°C by exhaust gases from a combustor that burns pyrolysis gas and some of the by-product char.
In most of the cases, external biomass heater is used as heating source of the system while internal electrical heating is recently implemented as source of reactor heating.
However, this heating system causes biomass or other conventional forms of fuel consumption to produce renewable energy and contributes to environmental pollution.
In order to overcome these, the feasibility of incorporating solar energy with fast pyrolysis has been investigated.
The main advantages of solar reactor heating include renewable source of energy, comparatively simpler devices, and no environmental pollution.
A lab scale pyrolysis setup has been examined along with 1.2 m diameter parabolic reflector concentrator that provides hot exhaust gas up to 162°C.
The study shows that about 32.4% carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and almost one-third portion of fuel cost are reduced by incorporating solar heating system.
Successful implementation of this proposed solar assisted pyrolysis would open a prospective window of renewable energy.
