Abstract
The utilization of renewable resources to replace fossil fuels has gained widespread attention due to the depleting and polluting nature of fossil fuels. In this context, biomass as a source of renewable energy has derived a special focus as it can be converted into various types of biofuels. Instead of direct burning of woody biomass as an energy source, converting the woody biomass into biofuel makes the full utilization of its potential. Thermochemical conversion of biomass produces solid, liquid, and gaseous fuel, which has found immense industrial application as a source of chemicals and fuel. Pyrolysis, gasification, and hydrothermal liquefaction are various technologies available for converting biomass into biocrude, biochar, and syngas. This chapter focused on the recent advances in valorization of woody biomass for the production of valuable products such as bio-oil and syngas through thermochemical conversion processes.
