Thermochemical processes are among the most effective methods of obtaining hydrogen-rich gases from biomass. These technologies mainly include pyrolysis, gasification and hydrothermal liquefaction. Thermochemical conversion of dry biomass is similar to the conversion of fossil fuels using gasification and pyrolysis methods. Products obtained through thermochemical processes (CO and CH4) can be processed into other biofuels, e.g. syngas, a raw material for producing synthetic hydrocarbons, methanol and alcohols. In recent years, advanced research has been carried out using biomass to produce liquid fuels. The biomass pyrolysis process in the presence of a catalyst is based on the rapid heating of the biomass to a temperature of approximately 500°C in the so-called inert atmosphere in which there are no reactive gases. This process produces a liquid product: pyrolysis oil, gas and charcoal. The bio-oil produced in this process constitutes 60-75% of the mass of the biofuel and is thermally unstable because it contains up to 300 different chemical compounds. However, the bio-oil obtained in this way is incompatible with conventional liquid transport fuels (gasoline, diesel) due to its high oxygen content. Pyrolysis in the presence of a zeolite catalyst is a process that allows for the effective conversion of biomass in economic and ecological terms. A zeolite catalyst makes it possible to remove oxidized compounds in situ and modify the properties of the biofuel to ensure its compatibility with conventional transport fuels. The catalyst plays a crucial role in this process because it removes oxygen from oxygenates and, consequently, creates stable reaction products that can then be treated to obtain renewable transport fuels or other useful chemicals. The article presents methods of biomass conversion via pyrolisis, microorganisms usage, zeolite-based catalysis, biocatalysis and photo-fermentation, which poses a big possibility of diversification of renewable energy sources.
