Normally any organic substance (oil, plastic, wood, paper, rubber, cloth, animal waste biomass, sludge etc.) heated above a certain temperature, about 200-300 °C, spontaneously ignites and burns, which always occurs in presence of the air (or in oxidizing atmosphere). If the heating is carried out in a special container in the absence of oxygen the substance does not burn but partially gasifies and partially transforms in char. At higher temperatures (around 700-800°C), a total gasification of organic substances occur. The gas (pyrolysis gas or pyrogas) produced by the conversion of certain organic substances possess excellent characteristics that allow its further usage as a fuel to support the process and to recover the excess energy as a part of waste-to-energy approach.
