PYROLIQ II – 2023: Pyrolysis and Liquefaction of Biomass and Wastes

07 May, 2023 - 12 May, 2023
Location: Vienna, Austria
Regular

Following the successful Pyroliq I conference held in Cork, Ireland, in 2019, and complementing the Pyro Conferences series, the Pyroliq II conference will be a forum for discussion of the recent advances in the pyrolysis and liquefaction technologies of biomass, organic residues and wastes to intermediate products like bio-oil, biochar, syngas and torrefied materials. This will include slow, intermediate and fast pyrolysis, hydropyrolysis, solvent liquefaction and hydrothermal processing. A special session will be dedicated to pyrolysis-liquefaction of wastes from fossil origin, such as plastics. The refining and/or upgrading of resulting product intermediates using standalone facilities or co-processed taking advantage of existing infrastructure will be also an important topic for this conference.

Final products are derived after proper fractionation, isolation, purification and/or upgrading, and contributions addressing the processing to marketable materials, chemicals and fuels are especially invited. This discussion will include techno-economic analyses and life cycle assessments.

The conference will also offer a platform to those who are able to report on commercially successful processes.

After the success of the first PyroLiq conference organized in Cork in 2019, we feel that this 2nd edition is timely, and that it will be an important event to foster friendly and deep face-to-face discussions that could further catalyze the growth of this industry.
