\"Mid-term<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The PYSOLO (PYrolysis of biomass by concentrated SOLar pOwer) project consortium invites stakeholders from industry, academia, agriculture, and policy to attend the Mid-Term Stakeholder Event of the Horizon Europe project held in Zaragoza, Spain, on 6 November 2025. This event will highlight recent progress in solar-driven biomass pyrolysis \u2013 a combination of technologies with significant potential for industrial decarbonisation and defossilisation, circular bioeconomy, and climate change mitigation.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The half-day program will provide participants with a comprehensive overview of PYSOLO\u2019s current results. The first session will feature presentations on the concentrated solar power technology, the pyrolysis units, the biomass selection, and the pyrolysis products with a special focus on biochar. It also provides the opportunity for an open dialogue with the project team. The second part will include an exclusive guided tour of the ICB-CSIC (Instituto de Carboqu\u00edmica) research facilities, where one of the project\u2019s pyrolysis units is being developed and tested. The event will conclude with a light networking lunch, offering further opportunity for exchange between attendees and the PYSOLO team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

PYSOLO is pioneering the integration of concentrated solar power (CSP) with advanced biomass pyrolysis systems. Solar heat is directed via heliostats onto a rotary kiln solar particle receiver, which heats solid particle heat carriers (PHCs). These high-temperature PHCs transfer thermal energy to fluidised bed and auger pyrolysis reactors, enabling efficient, fossil-free conversion of wooden biomass into three key products:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
