Abstract
The growing problem of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and global warming makes replacing fossil fuels with sustainable energy sources, such as biomass, a crucial priority for the global energy transition. This master's thesis aims to collect, standardize, and compare the operating parameters and performance results from the most recent and relevant scientific literature for two of the main biomass conversion technologies: Anaerobic Digestion (AD) and Pyrolysis. The aim was to create an organized database to highlight the correlations between operating conditions, feedstock characteristics, and yields obtained, with the intention of supporting the formulation of policy and industrial guidelines. The methodology involved a systematic review of the literature, selecting different process setups for AD and Pyrolysis, most of which were laboratory-scale experiments.
The data were manipulated and standardized to allow for consistent comparison, focusing on feedstock properties (such as Total Solids and Volatile Solids), process parameters (temperature, scale, and residence time), and final product yields (biomethane, biochar, bio-oil, and gas)
