Pyrolysis Oil is a product of anaerobic distillation of biomass. Upon heating of wood or other biomass in an air-tight chamber, the gases that are produced may be liquified by cooling. These gases condense to an oil - pyrolysis oil. This oil may be used as a dense fuel source - for applications such as heating and steam engines. It may be burned by a burner such as the [[Babington_Burner]]. As such, this is the lower-tech substitute for diesel fuel - though at present it cannot be substituted for diesel. Both [http://openfarmtech.org/index.php?title=Biomass_to_FuelFischer-Tropsch Synthesis] and pyrolisis oil are a way towards a biofuel future.
