Subject field(s)
  • Biomass Energy
CONT

The thermochemical pathway will use intact (raw) biomass or just the non-carbohydrate portion to produce synthesis gas (analogous to natural gas for electricity and heating) and/or heavy oils (analogous to heating oil used for space heating), either of which then can be converted into a wide range of fuels and chemicals products.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Énergie de la biomasse
CONT

Les technologies de transformation empruntent deux voies différentes selon l'état physique de la matière végétale dont on dispose : l'une thermochimique adaptée aux matériaux secs tels que le bois et la paille, l'autre biologique convenant mieux aux produits humides. Exemples de voies thermochimiques : combustion, pyrolyse, gazéification, hydrocraquage.

OBS

L'expression «voie sèche» est parfois utilisée comme synonyme de «voie thermochimique» et «filière thermochimique». Cependant, le terme «sèche» fait plutôt référence à la biomasse sèche qui subit la transformation.
