Pyrolysis bio-oils are produced by the thermal decomposition of biomass by heating in the absence of oxygen at more than 500 °C; fast pyrolysis of biomass is much less expensive than biomass conversion technologies based on gasification or fermentation processes.

There are two basic approaches to converting coal to synthetic fuels: indirect liquefaction (ICL) (Fischer-Tropsch) and direct (Bergius).
