Valorization of Indonesian Wood Wastes through Pyrolysis: A Review

The wood processing industry produces a significant amount of waste. Biomass valorization through pyrolysis has the potential to increase added value wastes. Pyrolysis is an important thermochemical process that can produce solid, liquid, and gas products. This paper aims review wastes from Indonesia, including teak (Tectona grandis), meranti (Shorea sp.), sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria (L) Nielsen), rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis). based on in-depth study reliable literatures, statistical data government agencies, direct field observations. results showed could be suitable Currently, slow most feasible for with main product charcoal. efficiency increased by harvesting also liquid gaseous use in form charcoal needs developed diversified. Charcoal not only used fuel purposes but as soil improvement agent.
