Abstract Experimental and calculated data on the characteristics of synthesis gas, which can be obtained by the two-stage pyrolytic conversion of various types of biomass related to wastes from the woodworking industry and agricultural production, as well as industrial and domestic organic wastes, are presented. The variety of properties of the test types of hydrocarbon raw materials made it possible to establish the influence of the characteristics of processed biomass on the characteristics of the resulting synthesis gas (composition, volumetric yield, and heating value). It was found that the ratio H2/CO in the resulting synthesis gas can be purposefully changed by choosing a feedstock with an appropriate H/O atomic ratio. It was proposed to use the volatile content of the processed raw material calculated on a dry ash-free basis as a parameter that determines the energy efficiency of the two-stage process of pyrolytic conversion of biomass into synthesis gas. The?range of volatile content corresponding to the maximum values of the degree of energy conversion was established.
