Pyrolysis – a process of biomass decomposition – can be organized automatically. That is, it is sufficient to heat biomass to a certain temperature and then the process proceeds in the autothermal mode due to its own heat release.

The development of research in this domain will make energy generation out of biofuel more resource efficient and feasible.
