In this research work, saw dust (Vitellaria paradoxa) was thermo-chemically converted with and without catalyst (CaO) formulated from poultry eggshell to demonstrate its upgrading potential towards producing fuels and chemicals. Physicochemical characterization of the biomass confirmed it's bioenergy potential for producing renewable fuel. Thermal pyrolysis of the biomass was performed at 300°C and 500°C at 10°C/min heating rate, and 100 mL/min nitrogen flow rate, whereas catalytic pyrolysis was performed with CaO at 10 (wt%) catalyst loading. The highest pyrolytic liquid yield by thermal pyrolysis was found to be 8.60 (wt%) for 300 °C, and increased to 13.0 (wt%) at pyrolytic temperature of 500°C. Results indicated insignificant decreasing liquid yield by just 0.30 (wt%) for 300°C and by – 0.04 (wt%) for 500°C respectively. Products characterization by FTIR analysis showed prominent selectivity towards aromatic, phenols, alkanes, alcohols, acids and aldehydes as major components. Also, GCMS analysis confirmed that use of catalyst reduced the content of oxygenated and acidic compounds and increased that the amount of alcohols and aldehydes. It is concluded that, catalytic pyrolysis of saw dust using synthesized eggshell selectively produced energy-rich products and reduced oxygenated compounds.
