Tóm tắt

Currently, renewable energy contributes to a very small percentage of most country’s energy needs. Therefore it requires accelerated growth to meet the required goal of eliminating fossil fuel. Robust public strategies and political leadership are required to move forward, research, and technologies in renewable energy. Energy conservation through improvement in conversion efficiency is required and can be achieved by adopting pyrolysis technology. The application of pyrolysis in biomass decomposition for energy conversion can turn waste into wealth. Various works of literature and methods in the pyrolysis of carbonaceous feedstock were reviewed and presented. Available models and product yield mechanism was discussed.
