The sources that we looking need to be renewable sources so that it will easily to get and can be used continuously in a long period. Indirectly it will reduce the dependency on the fossil-fuel.

Hence this project is to investigate the feasibility of bio-hydrogen process to reduce the cost via torrified empty fruit bunch and flowsheet of the process.

The effect of temperature will increase 79% of hydrogen yield in the product gas composition.
