In this paper the influence of different catalyst on the catalytic thermolysis of different biomass wastes was studied. Synthetic and natural zeolites were used as catalysts for thermolysis. During the test it was mentioned that the pore size of additives had a strong effect on the catalytic activity and promoted the hydrocarbons formation. Also it was found the positive influence of the molded compositions on the structural and sorption characteristics and a role of catalyst in the subsequent thermolysis reaction. Moreover within the laboratory scale the catalytic refining method of gaseous products was developed and described for further commercial use. The natural aluminosilicate had increased the gaseous product yield in 2 times compared to non-catalytic process. The gases produced by fast thermolysis can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels.
