Description:	Biomass to energy is becoming more widespread and generating a significant amount of the primary energy in Brazil due to the optimal conditions in all regions of Brazil, such as availability of indigenous raw materials, low biomass cost, great experience in bioenergy use, technology development, local equipment suppliers, high level of human resources, and legal and legislation base. 47.5% of the overall primary energy consumption is non-fossil, 13.5% is firewood and charcoal, and 16.6% sugar cane products (fuel ethanol and bagasse for bio-electricity). There are many possibilities to introduce biomass pyrolysis and also bio-oil gasification to syngas in the Brazilian market. The commercialisation of the technology has the potential of starting in the range of up to 1 t/h dry biomass.
