CHARACTERIZATION OF TORREFIED EMPTY FRUIT BUNCH AND PALM KERNEL SHELL IN THE PRESENCE OF BIOMASS PELLET COMBUSTION GAS

Being the world second largest producer and exporter of palm oil, Malaysia’s palm oil industry generate a total of 85 – 110 million tonnes of solid biomass annually and a large percentage of these biomass are left underutilized due to its inferior properties compared to commercial solid fuels.
