Strong dependence on imported energy sources, growth of fossil fuel and environmental concern are the main reasons for increase of use of new renewable energy. In case of second generation liquid biofuel production, lignin biomass is used as a raw material, which helps to avoid use of food products for the biofuel production needs. The study was made for 1 kg wood to define both the energy and mass conversion efficiencies during the fast pyrolysis process. According to results, 1 kg bio-oil heating value is approximately 5 times higher as incoming wood heating value. It means that energy density of bio-oil is higher than for the wood. Biomass fast pyrolysis helps to reach a higher quality liquid biofuel.
