17. Biomass to energy technology Biomass pyrolysis recent update Biomass fast pyrolysis process using microwave

18. Biomass to energy technology Biomass fast pyrolysis process using microwave Pyrolysis is a well-recognized thermochemical platform for production of bio-oil, combustible gases and char from organics in biomass Currently, fluidized bed and fixed bed (downdraft or updraft) are the dominant reactor types for biomass pyrolysis, in which the heating is provided by heated surfaces Microwave irradiation is an alternative heating method

19. Biomass to energy technology Biomass fast pyrolysis process using microwave Advantages of microwave heating in pyrolysis: uniform internal heating - no need for agitation of fluidization and hence fewer particles (ashes) in the bio-oil easy-to-implement technology studies suggest that this is a highly scalable technology suitable for distributed conversion of bulky biomasses

36. Recent update 2 nd generation biofuel Why?? First-generation biofuels are extracted from agricultural products: beetroot, rape seed, etc. They compete with foodstuffs. Concerns and constraints: 1.Compete with food crops 2.Expensive total production cost 3.Accelerating deforestation 4.The biomass feedstock may not be produced sustainably 5.Potentially has a negative impact on biodiversity R. Sims, M. Taylor, J. Saddler, W. Mabee. 2008. From 1 st to 2 nd generation biofuel technologies, IEA

37. Recent update 2 nd generation biofuel Second-generation biofuels are produced using the inedible part of plants (straw, wood, plant waste). Unlike first-generation biofuels, they do not compete with the use of raw materials as food. They can be used directly by traditional vehicles and considerably reduce CO 2 emissions. Second-generation biofuels produced from ‘plant biomass’ refers largely to lignocellulosic materials, as this makes up the majority of the cheap and abundant nonfood materials available from plants The examples of 2nd generation biofuels are cellulosic ethanol and Fischer– Tropsch fuels http://www.airliquide.com/en/second-generation-biofuels-1.html

38. Recent update 2 nd generation biofuel Air Liquide is developing Bioliq®, a process that produces second- generation biofuels using straw in three successive stages: 1.The first step in the process consists of high-temperature pyrolysis of the straw to convert it into synthetic crude: bioliqSynCrude®. 2.The second step consists of gasification, i.e. the transformation of the synthetic crude into synthesis gas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. 3.Through several chemical reactions, the Bioliq® process then converts the synthesis gas into methanol or directly into biofuels. The Bioliq® process can produce 1 liter of diesel from 7 kg of straw. http://www.airliquide.com/en/second-generation-biofuels-1.html

39. Recent update 2 nd generation biofuel Second-generation biofuels present an energy and environmental advantage: they have a much better carbon footprint than other fuels: up to 90% reduction in CO 2 emissions compared to mineral fuels and about 50% compared to first-generation biofuels. could significantly reduce CO 2 production, do not compete with food crops and some types can offer better engine performance http://www.airliquide.com/en/second-generation-biofuels-1.html
