Abstract
Biomass is a renewable resource that is often underutilized or inefficiently managed, posing significant challenges to sustainable resource use and environmental protection. With the depletion of fossil fuels, thermochemical conversion technologies such as pyrolysis and gasification have received increasing attention for energy recovery from waste. Among these, biomass pyrolysis is particularly promising, as it not only mitigates pollution but also generates high-value products including bio-oil, biochar, and syngas. This research investigated the feasibility of biochar from Nypa fruticans (NF) fiber during pyrolysis process which operated at 500 °C with controlled times of 10, 15, and 20 minutes with N2 flow rate 0.3 L/min. The biochar yield decreased slightly with increasing residence time, from 63.36% at 10 minutes to 60.26% at 20 minutes. These findings highlight the potential of agricultural residue pyrolysis as an efficient, low-cost, and sustainable strategy for waste management while enhancing the value of biomass-derived products for environmental applications.
The rising generation of biowaste from agricultural, municipal, and industrial activities poses
significant environmental and waste management challenges. Pyrolysis presents a viable
solution by converting biowaste into biochar, bio-oil, and syngas, offering both waste
reduction and resource recovery opportunities. Thi...

This study investigates the potential of castor stalk, an abundant agricultural residue in Gujarat, India, as a feedstock for sustainable bioenergy production through pelletization and pyrolysis. The castor stalk was processed and characterized to determine its proximate and ultimate composition, bulk density, and high...
This research investigates sewage sludge pyrolysis as a route for biochar production, comparing in natura and pelletized feedstocks under slow pyrolysis conditions. Experiments were conducted in a batch reactor at 400–500 °C, with a heating rate of 5 °C min–1 and a residence time of 60 min under an inert atmosphere....

Biomass material is a renewable source of energy which are readily available and being produced in large quantities as most of it goes to waste. These materials can be recovered through pyrolysis process in order to produce usable products like biochar and pyroligneous acid. These products can be used as bio-fertilizer...

Depletion of fossil fuels and growing environmental concerns compel the search for alternative renewable liquid fuels as a sustainable energy source. This study investigated the feasibility of the invasive woody shrub Lantana camara as a pyrolysis-based bio-oil feedstock. Crude biochar, bio-oil (BO), and non-condensabl...
