[0079] S1: Biomass pyrolysis: dry biomass raw materials and dry carrier gas are input into the pyrolysis reactor 101, and biomass pyrolysis and heat self-supply are achieved by bottom ignition and air volume control, so that the biomass is pyrolyzed to produce pyrolysis gas and pyrolysis char;

[0080] S2: Online hydrogenation of pyrolysis gas: The pyrolysis gas enters the hydrogenation reactant from the pyrolysis gas outlet 105 through the pyrolysis gas discharge pipe 216 and then from the hydrogenation reactant inlet 209, so that the catalyst enters the hydrogenation reactor 201 from the catalyst inlet 202, and hydrogen plasma is generated by the hydrogen plasma generator. The pyrolysis gas is subjected to online catalytic hydrogenation and deoxygenation in the hydrogenation reactor 201 by hydrogen plasma and catalyst to generate hydrogenation products and waste catalysts. The hydrogenation product outlet 205 is used to discharge the hydrogenation products;

[0081] S3: Product condensation and separation: The hydrogenation product is discharged from the hydrogenation product outlet 205 and then enters the condensation tank 301 through the hydrogenation product inlet 302. The condensation tank 301 is used to condense the hydrogenation product to obtain a condensed liquid product and a non-condensable gas. The condensed liquid product is discharged through the condensed liquid product outlet 304, and the non-condensable gas is discharged through the non-condensable gas outlet 303.

[0082] In this embodiment, when cyclic hydrogenation is required, step S4 is also included: product cyclic hydrogenation: the first part of the hydrogenation product discharged from the hydrogenation product outlet 205 enters the condensation tank 301 from the hydrogenation product inlet 302 through the second discharge pipe 214, and the second part of the hydrogenation product is pumped back to the hydrogenation reactant inlet 209 by the compression pump 213 arranged on the third discharge pipe 215, and enters the hydrogenation reactor 201 again to perform step S2.

[0083] In this embodiment, when a catalyst regeneration system 4 is provided, step S5 is also included: catalyst circulation regeneration: the waste catalyst enters the catalyst regeneration reactor 401 from the waste catalyst inlet 403 after passing through the first discharge pipe 210 and the fourth discharge pipe 405, and the air enters the catalyst regeneration reactor 401 from the second gas inlet 404. The waste catalyst particles and air undergo a combustion reaction, and the carbon deposits on the waste catalyst are removed. The gas-solid mixture enters the cyclone separator 501 from the regeneration gas-solid mixed flow outlet 402 to achieve gas-solid separation, and the hot air is discharged from the hot air outlet 502 at the upper end, and the regenerated catalyst is discharged from the first regenerated catalyst outlet 504, and enters the hydrogenation reactor 201 through the regenerated catalyst inlet 203 after passing through the sixth discharge pipe 407 to perform step S2.

[0084] In summary, this embodiment also discloses a plasma-coupled thermal catalytic biomass gas-phase online hydrogenation method, which generates high-energy active hydrogen plasma by driving the plasma torch 207 with renewable energy electricity, and combines the heat-assisted catalytic biomass pyrolysis gas generated during the catalyst regeneration process for online hydrogenation, thereby realizing the low-carbon and high-value conversion of biomass driven by renewable energy.
