AB Cortaderia selloana (CS), is an invasive and exotic species that is generating significant invasiveproblems in the Iberian Peninsula ecosystems. The objective of this research was to study thisplant potential thorough a pyrolytic process helping to reduce its expansion. Stems and leaveswere subjected to conventional and flash pyrolysis. These processes were carried out in anoriginal design oven using a 25°C/min heating ramp at a 750°C temperature and during 60 minat the pyrolysis temperature for conventional pyrolysis and with 750°C and 850°C pyrolysistemperatures for flash. Gas-fraction obtained by flash pyrolysis had higher HHV data whencompared with conventional ones (~17 MJ/kg vs ~ 5 MJ/kg) due to their less CO2 and higherCO, CH4 and H2. The greater bio-oil yield was obtained for CSS-P (33.58%). The composition ofconventional pyrolysis bio-oils had an overbearing of nonaromatic and monoaromatichydrocarbons nature whereas bio-oils from flash pyrolysis were composed mainly of polycyclicaromatic hydrocarbons. Bio-char fraction was higher in CSL than CSS with HHV similar to ligniteand bituminous coals (22.74 to 29.12 MJ/kg). After done the quantification and characterizationof the fractions, it was concluded that a possible energetic valorization of Cortaderia selloanabiomass was possible.
