The challenges of large-scale biomass energy use include negative environmental impacts such as deforestation, land degradation, water pollution, and biodiversity loss. Biomass production can compete with food production, especially if large-scale monocultures are used for biofuel crops. Another challenge is the availability and variability of biomass feedstock, which can vary geographically and seasonally, posing challenges for consistent plant operation. Technological barriers and scale-up challenges also exist, as scaling up biomass pyrolysis technology from laboratory-scale to commercial-scale plants remains a challenge. Clear policies and regulations are essential to support the growth of biomass pyrolysis plants and provide a favorable market environment. Continued investment in research and development is crucial to address technical challenges, develop innovative solutions, and improve the overall performance of biomass pyrolysis plants. Other challenges include high capital and operating costs, technical challenges in scaling up the biomass pyrolysis process, potential emissions of pollutants, and the need for further research and development to improve process efficiency and product yields. Additionally, there is a chance of deforestation due to the high demand for biomass, and the land used for biomass production may become less efficient for growing other crops. Storage of biomass requires maintenance and can be costly, as well as the harvest, storage, and export process.
