H2 enriched fuels from co-pyrolysis of crude glycerol with biomass

► We examined co pyrolysis of biomass with glycerol, at higher than conventional temperature that could simulate very well the first step of gasification in a pilot fluidized bed reactor. ► We suggested that crude glycerol mixed with biomass and treated by high temperature pyrolysis can produce a rich in H2 gaseous fuel. ► We suggested the combined exploitation of crude glycerol with locally produced biomass by thermochemical treatments might be a viable option for the valorization of the glycerol amounts stocked in small biodiesel plants.
