In the present work Al-MCM-41 catalyst was prepared, characterized and tested in the pyrolysis of both sisal fiber and residue. The cracking reactions of heavy molecules in pyrolysis products resulted not only in a lighter and less viscous bio-oil but also increased deoxygenation  leading to a product with better stability.
