The Peruvian environmental regulation is going through changes in order to fit the country’s economic growth as well as signing or ratifying international treaties and agreements. The country has one of the most fast growing economies of the region which goes hand in hand with new environmental challenges because of higher energy needs, generation levels and consumption. Peru has large amounts of unused biomass resources that could be used for the production of green energy. For that reason, a pyrolysis reactor was built to investigate the potential of pyrolysis oil production from different feedstock in Peru. Coffee grounds were used for these very first experiments and results on chemical and physical characterization of these input materials and the resulting products are presented here.
