Abstract:
Due to overpopulation and economic growth, non-renewable fossil fuels are in demand in many nations across the world. The transformation of biomass into biofuels has obtained more attention and is seen as an innovative strategy that will minimize environmental pollution and emit zero carbon. The most common and cost-effective biomass for the extraction of biofuel is lignocellulose. Sawdust which is a product of carpentry workshops is one of the most valuable lignocellulosic materials. Before the conversion of lignocellulosic sawdust biomass into bioproducts and biofuels can be deployed, they must overcome several obstacles. The existing investigation is aiming to present a comprehensive review of pyrolysis principles and the phenomena of sawdust lignocellulosic biomass. Also, the quantity and quality of biofuels are discussed with the main pyrolysis process variables, including temperature, pressure, and heating rate. Moreover, the sawdust lignocellulosic biomass conversion mechanism to biofuels was studied. Challenges and outcomes from the present study were also discussed.
