PyNe - The Biomass Pyrolysis Network - a global network of active researchers and developers of fast pyrolysis, has been established to discuss and exchange information on scientific and technological developments on pyrolysis and related technologies for the production of liquid fuels, electricity and chemicals.

A newsletter is published twice a year with a circulation of around 3000 - for a free copy please contact Emily Wakefield.

PyNe is co-ordinated by Aston University with Professor Tony Bridgwater as the Co-ordinator and Emma Wylde providing the secretariat.

PyNe is sponsored by DG TREN of the European Commission through the Altener Programme and IEA Bioenergy. To access the main IEA website, click here.

PyNe is also part of the ThermalNet network. ThermalNet is the new European Network for biomass pyrolysis, gasification and combustion. ThermalNet consists of three technologies: pyrolysis (PyNe), gasification (GasNet) and combustion (CombNet) and is funded through Altener in the Intelligent Energy for Europe Programme operated by DG TREN.
