Thermochemical

High-temperature conversion processes that use heat, pressure, and sometimes controlled oxygen or water to transform solid or wet carbonaceous materials into oils, gases, or syngas. Apply when thermal decomposition or high-temperature chemical breakdown is the core step. Examples include pyrolysis, gasification, reductive catalytic fractionation, and hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL).
