Pyrolysis oil is a synthetic fuel under investigation as substitute for petroleum. It is extracted by biomass to liquid technology of destructive distillation from dried biomass in a reactor at temperature of about 500°C with subsequent cooling. Pyrolytic oil is a kind of tar and normally contains too high levels of oxygen to be a hydrocarbon. As such it is distinctly different from similar petroleum products.The biomass is split into solid, and gaseous components under the influence of heat only (anhydrous pyrolysis). The produced charcoal may be used for heating the process, used as a soil additive biochar, or as activated carbon in absorption processes. The non-condensable gas, consisting of hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), may be burned but the condensible gases may be rapidly cooled to form condensate droplets which can then be separated from the non-condensable gases due to the substantial difference in density of each fraction. The condensate may be reignited similar to #2 fossil fuel. The heating value is 15-22 MJ/kg.
