Firstly, a short introduction into the current energy consumption, reserves and applications is given. The challenge of producing energy for future generations in a sustainable way is explained. Hereafter, the composition and availability of biomass is discussed and conversion routes to chemicals and energy carriers are touched upon. This chapter also serves as a general introduction to biomass pyrolysis. The pyrolysis of wood is described at the level of chemistry and transport processes. Special attention is paid to the role of alkali and alkaline earth metals (AAEMs) in pyrolysis. Options to minimize the effects of the AAEMs during pyrolysis are discussed. A novel pyrolysis process, using pyrolytic acid leaching, which has been developed and evaluated in this thesis is introduced. Finally, the scope and structure of this thesis are explained. Part of this chapter is based on: Oudenhoven SRG, Westerhof RJM, Aldenkamp N, Brilman DWF, Kersten SRA. Demineralization of wood using wood-derived acid: Towards a selective pyrolysis process for fuel and chemicals production. J Anal Appl Pyrolysis. 2013;103:112-8.
