Abstract: Pyrolysis is a well-known thermochemical process used to treat various types of solid waste that is often associated with an intensive energy demand. To this date, the heat source for pyrolysis has been mainly through burning fossil fuels (e.g. coal or natural gas) or via electric heating. As a result, pyrolysis is still considered an economically unattractive solid waste management technique. One environmentally-attractive solution would be to integrate solar thermal energy, via concentrated solar power (CSP) systems, into the pyrolysis process to reduce its dependency on fossil fuel.
