- This research quantifies the relationship between lignin/cellulose content of woody agrowaste and its behaviour as a feedstock during pyrolysis in bioenergy systems. This important effect is not currently considered in the design of new low carbon energy generation systems, such as pyrolyzers and gasifiers; in both these char and volatiles are released which can react quite differently. This work has led to new Research England THYME funding (https://www.hull.ac.uk/work-with-us/research/institutes/energy-and-environment-institute/our-work/thyme) on the optimization of lignin-rich pellet production from biomass waste in collaboration with the Biorenewables Development Centre and Jesmond Engineering (CEO: simon.walker@jesmondengineering.com).
