Biomass is a renewable energy source that is derived from biological materials including organic waste. Termochemical processes such as pyrolysis and gasification, can be used to convert biomass to various forms of energy without the generation of greenhouse gases. It is believed that the pyrolysis of biomass is a clean technology has the potential to contribute significantly to the world's need for liquid fuels and, ultimately, for the production of chemicals. However, a number of challenges remain before this promising approach can be commercially implemented on a wide scale. The long-term objectives of the proposed research program are to understand and address the technical challenges that hinder the implementation of biomass-fueled generation projects such as the production of co-products, upgraded bio oil, and value added chemicals from biomass. Research studies will be undertaken to develop more efficient approaches for biomass processing, thereby increasing the cost-effectiveness of this promising technology. Specifically, the anticipated outcomes of this work are (i) the development of efficient, environmentally sustainable methods for processing biomass to generate a stable bio-oil, and value added chemicals such as phenol, and (ii) the commercialization of fast pyrolysis technologies.. The development of the proposed technologies effectively diversifies the Canadian economy without a negative impact on the environment. These energy sources are sustainable and acceptable to the values of Canadians. This work supports the fulfillment of global goals to develop long-term greenhouse gas mitigation technologies with specific focus on the energy sector. Programs such as the one being proposed will allow Canada to establish itself as the pioneer country for the reduction of CO2 emissions on a global scale. This research program moves Canada further along this spectrum, the work supports the greening of power generation sectors, chemical and petroleum industries through the utilization of waste biomass and reduced CO2.

生物质是一种可再生能源，来源于包括有机废物在内的生物材料。热解和气化等热化学过程可用于将生物质转化为各种形式的能源，而不会产生温室气体。人们认为，生物质的热解是一种清洁技术，有可能大大有助于世界对液体燃料的需求，并最终用于化学品的生产。然而，在这种有前途的方法可以大规模商业化实施之前，仍然存在一些挑战。 拟议研究计划的长期目标是了解和解决阻碍生物质燃料发电项目实施的技术挑战，例如生产副产品，升级生物油和生物质增值化学品。将进行研究，开发更有效的生物质加工方法，从而提高这项有前途的技术的成本效益。具体而言，这项工作的预期成果是（i）开发有效的，环境可持续的方法来加工生物质，以产生稳定的生物油和增值化学品，如苯酚，以及（ii）快速热解技术的商业化。 拟议技术的发展有效地使加拿大经济多样化，而不会对环境产生负面影响。这些能源是可持续的，符合加拿大人的价值观。 这项工作支持实现开发长期温室气体减排技术的全球目标，特别关注能源部门。 正在提出的这类方案将使加拿大成为全球范围内减少二氧化碳排放量的先锋国家。这项研究计划使加拿大进一步沿着这一范围，这项工作通过利用废弃生物质和减少二氧化碳来支持发电部门，化学和石油工业的绿色化。
