Pyrolysis oil, also known as "bio-oil", is a liquid biofuel created through pyrolysis.

The bioenergy conversion technology

Australian researchers develop process to produce stable bio-crude oil, 4 February 2008, from Biopact. Researchers in Australia have found a process that will turn lignocellulosic biomass into bio-oil. The stability of the new bio-oil is an important development.

Dynamotive’s Proposed Biofuel Project in Australia Gets Darwin City’s Blessing 21 February 2007 from Businesswire.com. A project in Darwin, Australia to turn green waste into pyrolysis oil for electricity generation at a mine using Dynamotive Energy Systems Corporation fast pyrolysis technology, has been approved by the city council.

SamoaFiber to produce pyrolysis oil from Gynerium sagittatum 18 February 2007 from Biopact. The company is going to use the tall, fast-growing C4 grass Gynerium sagittatum as a feedstock for a fast pyrolysis plant. The plant grows in a wide range of areas, but particularly in the Amazon basin.

Dynamotive begins construction of a modular fast pyrolysis plant in Ontario - 19 December 2006 from Biopact. The 200-ton-per-day facility will convert wood residues into pyrolysis oil.
