Slow Pyrolysis

Slow pyrolysis is a thermal decomposition process where organic materials, like biomass, are heated at relatively low temperatures (around 300°C to 700°C) over a longer period. This slow heating causes the material to break down gradually, producing useful products such as charcoal (solid carbon-rich residue), syngas (flammable gases), and bio-oil (liquid fuel). The process minimizes the destruction of energy, making it energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. It’s commonly used for converting biomass into energy, soil amendments, or carbon storage, helping reduce waste while generating valuable resources.
