Industrial heat still depends on fossil fuels.
Reformed bio-oil offers a renewable, carbon-negative alternative derived from waste biomass pyrolysis. It can substitute conventional heating oils and serve as a platform chemical feedstock.
Key features
Renewable fuel source
Bio-oil derived from waste biomass pyrolysis, reformed into a stable liquid fuel suitable for industrial combustion and co-firing.
Carbon-negative lifecycle
Combined with biochar co-production, the overall process removes more carbon than it emits across the full lifecycle.
Drop-in compatible
Reformed bio-oil can substitute for conventional heating oils in existing burner infrastructure with minimal modification.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is reformed bio-oil and how is it different from standard pyrolysis oil?
Reformed bio-oil is produced through Thermo-Catalytic Reforming (TCR), an advanced pyrolysis process that produces a deoxygenated, thermally stable bio-oil. Compared to standard pyrolysis oil, it has lower oxygen content, better storage stability, and is more suitable for refining into drop-in fuels.
Can reformed bio-oil be co-processed in conventional refineries?
Yes, reformed bio-oil is designed for compatibility with conventional refining infrastructure. It can be blended with fossil crude or processed in dedicated hydrotreating units to produce drop-in renewable diesel, jet fuel, and chemical feedstocks.
What feedstocks produce reformed bio-oil?
Reformed bio-oil can be produced from a wide range of biomass including forestry residues, agricultural residues, and energy crops. Feedstock flexibility is a defining advantage of TCR pyrolysis.
When will reformed bio-oil be available at commercial volumes?
PyroCCS is developing reformed bio-oil capacity in collaboration with research and industry partners. Pilot-scale supply is available for qualification testing and offtake conversations now. Contact us to discuss specific volume and timeline requirements.
