The Institute of Energetics offers customers services for studying the effect of various known catalysts on the composition and quantity of products obtained during biomass pyrolysis under an outsourcing agreement and/or subcontracting and is looking for partners interested in a distribution services agreement.

Biomass pyrolysis is the thermochemical decomposition of organic materials (wood, straw, husks, waste) at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen. Depending on the heating rate, temperature, and holding time, three main products are formed: bio-oil, biochar, and syngas.

These technologies enable the processing of renewable raw materials into valuable energy and industrial resources.
1. Bio-oil (pyrolysis liquid).
A dark brown liquid with a high oxygen and water content, obtained primarily through flash pyrolysis (yields can reach 70-75%). Uses: Fuel for boilers, furnaces, and power plants (an alternative to fuel oil). Raw material for further processing (production of biogasoline and green diesel). Extraction of valuable chemicals (acetic acid, resins, phenols).
2. Bio-coal (charcoal / biochar).
A solid carbonaceous residue formed during slow pyrolysis (yield 20-35%). Use: A highly effective ecological fertilizer (biochar) that improves soil structure, moisture retention, and nutrient retention. A smokeless solid fuel for domestic and industrial use. A raw material for the production of activated carbon, metallurgical coke, and carbon sorbents.
3. Synthesis gas (pyrolysis gas).
A mixture of combustible gases released during all stages of thermal decomposition. Contains hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH2), and other light hydrocarbons. Use: Burned directly in heat and power generation units (these gases provide energy for the pyrolysis process itself). Serves as a raw material for the synthesis of liquid motor fuels (Fischer-Tropsch process) or methanol.

Main areas of service of The Institute of Energetics include studying the effects of various known catalysts on the composition and quantity of products obtained during biomass pyrolysis.

1. Biomass Pyrolysis – fundamental research into biomass pyrolysis processes, development and design of equipment for the thermochemical processing of biomass to produce combustible gases, bio-oil, and charcoal.
