Marine biomass is recognized to be an energy crop or feedstock for biorefinery. Simultaneously, macroalgae or seaweed can also be a waste problem because these plants can be deposited spontaneously on the shore, creating hygienic problems. One possible way to utilize this waste is thermal processing (including combustion, gasification and pyrolysis). In this paper, thermochemical properties of the Baltic green algae Cladophora glomerata (CG) are presented. Pyrolysis of CG is carefully analyzed using a thermogravimetric method. The mechanism of the pyrolysis process and kinetic parameters are determined and discussed. C. glomerata can be utilized in thermal processes, and pyrolysis is one possible way for this utilization.
