Abstract
Biomass is a source of renewable energy. Biomass pyrolysis has gained prominence due to the potential to produce renewable, but also petrochemical, fuels; consequently, this can minimize dependence on fossil fuels. Soybean production generates a significant amount of waste which has the potential to be an energy source. Among these residues, the soybean stalks are found in a significant amount. In this study the slow pyrolysis of soybean stalks was realized in different temperatures using nitrogen as gas carrier. Combustion indices were used to evaluate the biochar as solid fuel. The results obtained in this study shows that the use of soybean stalks through slow pyrolysis is a potential alternative to produce second-generation biofuels. Biochar from soybean stalks shows solid fuel characteristics better than raw biomass.
