Abstract
Pyrolysis oil (PO) produced by thermal conversion of biomass is one of the most promising biofuels. Its energy density is several times bigger that the feedstock from which it was produced. Since it is in the liquid form it can be easily transported and stored. Unfortunately some of the properties of pyrolysis oil make it difficult for direct application in nowadays combustion engines and thus hindering its broad application for power and heat generation sector. The main obstacles are related to high viscosity, acidity, aging, solid content and nonmiscibility of the PO with conventional fuels.
