Pyroliq IV – 2027: Pyrolysis and Liquefaction Biomass and Wastes
Abstract Submission
Abstracts (one page maximum) that include specific results and conclusions to allow a scientific assessment of the proposed oral presentation are invited.
Please choose one or two of the following topics of interest (see Conference Topics above for the sub-topics) where you believe your work fits best:
- Fundamentals of pyrolysis and liquefaction technologies (reaction mechanisms in dry and solvent environments, reaction kinetics, product selectivity, effects of heat and mass transfer, catalysis)
- Reactor development, modelling, and digital tools (molecular representation of oil chemistry, testing and modelling of lab-scale units, machine learning, digital twins)
- Process development, integration, electrification, and co-processing (continuous laboratory and pilot installations with full mass balance closure; electrified reactors and Power-to-X-coupled liquefaction; co-processing in existing refinery and chemical infrastructure)
- Resources, feedstock characterisation, and pretreatment, including waste, residue, and circular feedstock streams
- Product characterisation, separation, and upgrading (chemical characterisation, isolation, purification, and post-treatment, including catalytic hydro-processing of bio-oils)
- Sustainable aviation fuels and renewable transport fuels from pyrolysis and liquefaction routes
- Techno-economic and life-cycle assessment, market studies, and added-value products (TEA, LCA, carbon intensity, and regulatory pathways; markets for heat, electricity, fuels, chemicals, and materials, notably from lignin)
- Biogenic carbon removal and durable carbon storage (carbon-negative biofuels, biochar, biocoke, BiCRS pathways, EU CRCF-aligned product routes)
- Plastic chemical recycling via pyrolysis and liquefaction (selective conversion of plastic waste into monomers, chemicals, and circular carbon feedstocks to enhance carbon circularity and reduce fossil resource dependence)
- Successful demonstration, scale-up, and commercialisation
Oral abstract submission deadline: February 1, 2027
Poster abstract submission deadline: February 15, 2027
Instructions
- Abstracts must be prepared according to this template: docx or doc; and
- Submitted electronically HERE.
Note:
1. Only a limited number of oral presentation slots are available and thus all submissions will be considered for both oral and poster presentation.
2. Abstracts of all presentations will be made available to conference participants prior to the start of the conference.
3. Awards will be presented to the top poster presentations.
Poster Guidelines
1. Size: 1.5 meters in length and 1.0 meter wide (Portrait style)
2. The best posters display a succinct statement of major conclusions at the beginning, followed by supporting text in later segments and a brief summary at the end. Click HERE for instructions and more information.
