• Reduced use of nonrenewable fuels,
• Less dependence on imported fuel sources,
• Rural economy development, and
• Reduced GHG emissions
• To use available, abundant, renewable,
resources ranging from plant to animal
biomass, or other renewable resources.

Introduction
Opportunity
Biomass is plant matter such as trees, grasses, agricultural crops or other
biological materials.
It can be used as a solid fuel, or converted into liquid or gaseous forms, for
the production of electric power, heat, or chemicals.
Biofuel is any gas, liquid, or solid fuel derived either from recently living
organisms or from their metabolic by-products.

Coal vs. Wood or Coal + Wood ?
Coal : 8,000-15,000 Btu/Ib, 27% volatile, 45-86% carbon
Wood: 7,000-9,000 Btu/Ib, 70-80% volatile, 20-26% carbon

Introduction (CBTL)
• Most economical until
other resources available
to produce liquid fuels at
lower costs;
• One potential way of
reducing the carbon
emission of coal to liquid
fuels;
• Enhance rural community
and economic
development.
Specific objectives
Pyrolysis and gasification in TGA/FTIR system:
Use TGA/FTIR system (thermogravimetric analysis-
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) to conduct
pyrolysis and gasification for coal and biomasss
mixtures and analyze the resulting gaseous components.

Thermal analysis demonstrates that woody biomass sources are easily decomposed, with most of their weight lost under lower temperature compared with coal.
The biomass pyrolysis process could be divided into different stages: moisture evaporation, hemicellulose decomposition, cellulose and lignin degradation.
Woody biomass could enhance/stimulative coal pyrolysis/gasification. Different biomass may have different influences.
The main gaseous products from the pyrolysis of biomass, coal, and their mixture with different ratios included CO2, CH4, CO, H2O and some organics (a mixture of acids, aldehydes (C=O), alkanes (C–C), and ethers (C–O–C)).
