Assessment and comparison of thermochemical pathways for the rice residues valorization: pyrolysis and gasification.

ABSTRACT: Lignocellulosic biomass conversion applying thermochemical routes has been postulated as an alternative for generating renewable energy. This research compares energy-driven biorefineries based on two thermochemical routes addressed to upgrade rice husk and rice straw produced in the Department of Sucre-Colombia. Initially, this research analyzes the physico-chemical and structural characterization of the rice residues. Four different scenarios were proposed to compare the energy-driven biorefineries based on fast pyrolysis and gasification considering technical, economic, and environmental metrics. These biorefineries were simulated using the Aspen Plus V.14.0 software. The novelty of this research is focused on the identification of the biorefinery with the best techno-economic, energeti
