Table 1. Temperatures of Typical Biomass Processing Routes and the Sources of Energy.

temperature (°C)	process type	source of energy	emissions
1000	gasification	combustion	kg CO2/kg biomass
500	pyrolysis	combustion/CSP
250	high-temperature biochem	HP steam
180	medium-temperature biochemical	MP steam
120	medium- to low-temperature biochemical	LP steam
<100	low temperature	LP steam/energy integration
