Agricultural waste is an excellent source of renewable energy. Through pyrolysis, we get eco-friendly energy from this biomass.

Pyrolysis is the first stage of thermal decomposition of wood. The familiar tongues of flame on burning wood are caused by the combustion of the gases (the volatile products of pyrolysis) rather than by combustion of the carbon of wood itself.

During pyrolysis of wood (450°C-500°C), a lot of different substances are formed. The highest concentrations in gaseous pyrolysis products are: methyl alcohol, (therefore, methanol is called obsolete "wood alcohol"), acetic acid, acetone, benzene, furan, etc.

The non-volatile products of incomplete pyrolysis are liquid and pasty resins. The final product of complete pyrolysis of wood is almost pure carbon with a small content of mineral components - charcoal.

The generated volume of electricity depends on the initial moisture content of the biomass feedstock. Biomass (wood, straw, poultry and paper waste, etc.) is a renewable energy source. Biomass is pyrolyzed and then the pyrolysis gas is used to generate electricity.
