What is the best particle heat carrier (PHC) for solar-driven biomass pyrolysis?

PYSOLO project partner DLR just started the characterisation campaign to identify the best particle heat carrier for biomass pyrolysis. Four materials have been chosen among several. Further tests will be carried out. Curious? Results will be shared soon.

Combining Concentrated Solar Power and Pyrolysis – The PYSOLO project

In July 2023, the Horizon Europe Project PYSOLO (PYrolysis of biomass by concentrated SOLar pOwer) was officially launched and will be up and running for the next four years. The project aims to prepare the ground for a novel game-changing and fully renewable process combining concentrated solar power and biomass pyrolysis.

Infographic of the PYSOLO project showing the logo's sun that shines on solar panels from the concentrated solar power plant. The heat from this process is transferred to the pyrolysis process that produces valuable bio-based products from second generation biomass. The infographic makes use of the project's colour code (brown, yellow, blue).
