27 Fast Pyrolysis - BioOil Rapid heating of biomass in the absence of oxygen. Two commercial products are produced: BioOil (yield 55 73%) Char (yield 15 25%) Non-condensable gases - burned in the process. Feedstocks: Forest Residues - Bark and whitewood Agricultural - Sugar cane residue, wheat straw, rice hulls, etc. Energy for Development in the Americas 27
