%X biofuels were obtained by fast pyrolysis of palm oilwastes (elaeis guineensis jacq.) in a free fall reactor. previously, palm oil wastes were dried and sieved and then were fed to the reactor. as pyrolysis products, char, non-condensable gas and bio-oil, a condensed liquid composed by alcohols, carboxylic acids, alkanes and aromatics, were obtained. the experiments were carried out at temperature range 500-700ˇăc. the highest bio-oil yield, 23.3%, was obtained at 600ˇăc. the gas compositional analysis showed co2,720%, h0,703 % , ch1,289%, co 22 4 2,472 % and n2 for the non-condensable gas produced at 600ˇăc. the highest gas yield was obtained at 700ˇăc but bio-oil yield was 14.9%. results indicate that temperature has an important effect on the product yields and composition. a future step will be an economical analysis in order to evaluate the possibility of using non-condensable gas as energy source for pyrolysis reactor.
