LCCMR supports pyrolysis pilot project

LCCMR is supporting a project to demonstrate and evaluate pyrolysis of diversified perennials to produce high-value, bio-based products and renewable energy while also producing ecosystem and water quality benefits.  A key component of this work will be the demonstration of a portable pyrolysis unit which uses a water free process to convert diverse biomass feedstocks to liquid fuels. We collected process data and experience from the pilot system installed in our pilot lab. The mobile system is being designed.
