pyrolysis oil

Pyrolysis oil, also known as bio-oil, is a renewable liquid fuel produced by heating organic materials like biomass or waste plastics in the absence of oxygen. This process, called pyrolysis, breaks down complex molecules into simpler compounds, resulting in a dark, viscous liquid. It can be used as a substitute for traditional fuels in power generation or transportation, and serves as a source of chemicals for industrial applications. While it has potential as a sustainable energy resource, its chemical complexity requires refining for optimal use.
