T<sub>max</sub> is the temperature at which the maximum rate of [[hydrocarbon generation]] occurs in a [[kerogen]] sample during [[Rock-Eval pyrolysis|pyrolysis]] analysis. The S<sub>2</sub> peak represents the rate of hydrocarbon generation (the area under the curve represents the amount). The temperature at the time the S<sub>2</sub> peak is recorded during pyrolysis is T<sub>max</sub>, given in °C. [[:file:evaluating-source-rocks_fig6-6.png|Figure 1]] shows output from a pyrolysis analysis and when T<sub>max</sub> is recorded.
