Abstract

Biomass pyrolysis and gasification are two novel and popular approaches to convert low energy-density raw biomass into high energy-density bio-oil and gas for fuel and chemical engineering. They have been viewed as potential ways to complement traditional fossil fuels to increase energy security and reduce environmental pollution. various studies demonstrating the use of various methods, developments, and theories in the field of process engineering to facilitate biomass pyrolysis or gasification at reactor and process scales are discussed. Scientific investigations and industrial practices on process operation, design and intensification to substantially improve efficiency and performance, and reduce time and cost are highlighted.
