Project description
Depleting oil reserves, concerns about global warming and increasing energy
demands are driving the investigation of lignocellulosic biomass as a
renewable and cleaner alternative to fossil resources. For renewable
production of fuels and chemicals it is necessary to understand the relations
between biomass composition, fast pyrolysis conditions and the composition of
the targeted bio-oil.
