Note: wt% =percent by weight.
The exact composition of BioOil may vary depending on feedstock and processing. The
table above is based on the fast pyrolysis method using the specific feedstock listed in the
table. Other companies also produce BioOil though conversion processes and feedstocks
can vary widely.Biomass Energy Data Book: Edition 1
"BioOil is a dark brown, free flowing liquid comprised of highly oxygenated compounds. As a fuel, BioOil
is considered to be CO2 neutral, and emits no SOX and low NOX when combusted. BioOil density is high
at 1.2 kgs/litre. Heating value on a weight basis is approximately 40 % to that of diesel. On a volume
basis the heating value compared to diesel is approximately 55%." -DynaMotive.
