What is the key operational difference between pyrolysis and gasification in the context of waste-to-energy conversion?

Pyrolysis uses high pressure, while gasification operates at atmospheric pressure. Pyrolysis is a biological process, whereas gasification is a chemical process. Pyrolysis occurs in the complete absence of oxygen, while gasification uses a limited amount of oxygen. Pyrolysis is exclusively for liquid biomass, while gasification is for solid biomass.

Correct Answer:

Pyrolysis occurs in the complete absence of oxygen, while gasification uses a limited amount of oxygen.
