Abstract

Biomass pyrolysis is a pivotal thermochemical process for converting organic materials into valuable biofuels and chemicals, playing a critical role in the renewable energy landscape. This study explores the thermodynamic principles underlying biomass pyrolysis, emphasizing its potential for sustainable energy production. In this process, biomass is thermally broken down in the absence of oxygen, producing syngas, biochar, and bio-oil. Thermodynamic analysis provides insights into the energy requirements, reaction pathways, and product distribution, which are essential for optimizing process efficiency. We evaluate the enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy changes associated with pyrolysis reactions to understand the feasibility and spontaneity of the process. A detailed investigation is conducted into how important characteristics like temperature, pressure, and biomass content affect thermodynamic equilibrium. By employing computational models and experimental data, we identify the optimal conditions for maximizing energy output and minimizing environmental impact. The findings underscore the importance of thermodynamic optimization in enhancing the yield and quality of pyrolysis products. This study contributes to the advancement of biomass pyrolysis technology, offering a pathway toward more efficient and sustainable bioenergy production. Our results highlight the potential of biomass pyrolysis as a cornerstone in the transition to a low-carbon economy, providing a renewable and versatile energy source that can significantly reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
