N2 - The Argonne National Laboratory carried out life cycle analysis of various pyrolysis pathways by expanding and employing the Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Transportation Model. The fuel cycle energy use and greenhouse gases emissions from the pyrolysis pathways were compared to the baseline gasoline pathway, as well as alternative biofuel pathways, e.g., corn and cellulosic ethanol, cellulosic biomass to Fischer Tropsch Diesel, and soybean biodiesel, renewable diesel, and renewable gasoline. The life cycle results were significantly impacted by the source of hydrogen production for hydrotreatment and hydrocracking processes, and the handling of the biochar and other coproducts of the pyrolysis pathway. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2011 AIChE Spring Meeting & 7th Global Congress on Process Safety (Chicago, IL 3/13-17/2011).
