Pyrolysis includes the thermal degradation of materials at various conditions.

Analytical pyrolysis refers to microscale techniques like Py-GC/MS and TGA-GC/MS

Applied pyrolysis considers reaction and engineering aspects of processes like fast pyrolysis, carbonization and torrefaction.

Catalysts and reactants (like hydrogen) may be involved at various stages, as well as in in secondary upgrading processes.

Products of pyrolysis are gases, vapors, condensed liquids, and (partially) devolatilized solids like for instance biochar
