“…However, the net present worth (NPW) and internal rate of return for the present work are calculated as 27, 527.5 US$ and 68.82%, respectively. With comparing to the previous study [28] and [57], it is clear that the system capacity affect the production cost and assures the good return on investment by selecting a suitable type of feedstock. The all-economic parameters are presented in Table S2.…”

“…However, from our previous study Paul et al [28], it is observed that the wheat straw yields maximum bio-oil yield of 42.0% at a temperature of 500℃ and the cost of production of bio-oil per liter was determined as 0.5 US$. The volatile matter and ash content of biomass feedstocks has the major effect on the pyrolysis product distribution.…”

The production of biofuel from agricultural crop residue via fast pyrolysis is becoming a popular option. It can help to build a robust renewable fuel market and ensure environmental sustainability. In this study, the widely available maize straw was used for the production of bio-oil in a fluidized bed reactor at a pilot scale. The effect of pyrolysis parameters such as temperature, biomass particle size, and carrier gas flow rate on the production of bio-oil, char, and syngas was investigated. The maximum bio-oil yield of 44.6 wt.% was achieved at a pyrolysis temperature of 500℃. The physicochemical properties of bio-oil were determined, and the heating value was found to be 18.5 MJ/kg. Furthermore, the chemical composition of maize straw bio-oil was analyzed by GC-MS and FTIR. The compounds such as phenol (22.83%), carboxylic acids (27.36%), ketone (19.14%) alcohols (2.09%), esters, furfural, hydrocarbon and aromatic compounds, etc. were identified in the bio-oil. The cost analysis of the developed system showed that the cost of production of bio-oil from maize straw was 0.47 US$/L and the calculated payback period was 1.47 year.
