Pyrolysis is a process that can indeed produce liquid fuel.
This thermal degradation process converts organic materials like biomass and plastic waste into various forms of fuel, including liquid fuel.
During pyrolysis, organic materials are heated to high temperatures, ranging from 300-900°C, in the absence of oxygen.
This heating causes the material to decompose, generating vapors and aerosols.
These vapors and aerosols are then cooled and condensed to form a dark brown liquid known as pyrolysis oil or bio-oil.
This liquid fuel has a calorific value that is about half of conventional fuel oil.
It can be used as a source of energy in boilers, engines, turbines, and as a feedstock for producing chemicals and biofuels.
