[EBOOK] Commercial Application of Pyrolysis Technology in Agriculture, A.J. (Sandy) Marshall, P.Eng

In 2010, the Ontario Federation OÍ Agriculture (OFA) received Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) funding through the Canadian Agricultural Adaptation Council (CAAP) to conduct producer level research and value chain determination in support of commercializing agricultural biomass to energy and co-products.

In earlier studies, the OFA examined the opportunities to use biomass as a substitution for coal and natural gas. including a business case for purpose-grown biomass as a combustion fuel and the sustainable harvest of crop residues.

As follow-up a worldwide search of emerging commercial technologies resulted in more than 20 different technologies being evaluated by a technical panel and summarized in the report Alternative Technologies to Transform Biomass into Energy". This report along with other biomass studies is available on the OFA v/ebsile. Please visit www.ofa.on.ca/issuesi/overview/ biomass to access these previous studies including this report.

In this report, pyrolysis technology was identified as one of the emerging technologies with a

significant potential for producing energy, bio-oil and bio-char from agricultural biomass. Building off of work done through ICFAR. Western University, potential uses were investigated for bio-oil and bio-char produced from pyrolysis of agricultural biomass. ICFAR is developing a commercial scale mobile pyrolysis unit that could offer the advantage of lower logistics costs and energy / co-products to producers. Under this value chain scenario, biomass is simply processed at the farm offering flexibility with harvesting and reducing costs. Particular focus was given to review ICFAR technology.

The ultimate goal of this study was to identify paths for commercializing pyrolysis technology in the agricultural sector in Ontario, developing the value chain from farm field to blo-products and linking proponents to produce a network capable of moving this potential opportunity forward.

The OFA would like to thank Bio-Industrial Innovation Canada (BIC) and its author.

A.J. (Sandy) Marshall for his thoroughness and dedication in preparing this report.
