Abstract: Biomass, which constitutes more than 14 percentage of the world total energy, is a renewable energy source and can effectively substitute conventional fossil fuels. Conversion of biomass through pyrolysis to high energy density fuel will relieve the shortage of energy, reduce the pollution of atmosphere and improve the quality of environment. This article introduced the classification, structure and composition of biomass, expatiated the effects of biomass material, catalyst, temperature, pressure, rate of raising temperature and gas staying time on the process of pyrolysis, including the initial and final temperature of pyrolysis reaction,as well as composition and distribution of pyrolysis products.

Key words: biomass, pyrolysis, progress
