Now, biomass is one of the major renewable energy sources, which is converted into useful products via thermal and biochemical conversion techniques. Fast pyrolysis is one among the techniques to convert bioresidues into a liquid product-biooil, where the biomass will be heated to higher temperatures and the vapors generated from the bioresidues will be cooled immediately to produce the biooil. It is used for heat and a source for valuable fuels and chemicals. In this paper, the availability of biomass, and its conversion through fast pyrolysis is discussed.
