Abstract

To promote renewable energy sources, we focus on optimizing the design of solar–biomass pyrolysis systems. This study suggests the best reactor orientation that creates effective thermal–solar systems for pyrolysis. Solar–biomass pyrolysis uses solar energy to create valuable products like syngas, tar, and char from biomass. This process promotes energy sustainability. We analyze different solar reactors based on their design, operation, heat transfer rate, efficiency, residence time for biomass retention inside the reactor, and biomass conversion efficiency. A thorough analysis of the existing technologies helps to pinpoint the difficulties and most recent developments in the sector, making decision making more manageable and providing information on the viability and sustainability of biomass conversion technologies.
