Evaluation of biofuel from the torrefaction of Malaysian food waste

The alarming issues related to the depletion of conventional fossil-based fuel resources have sparked interest in the search for alternative resources. Being a developing country facing tremendous growth, Malaysia is generating large amounts of food waste (FW). In this paper, an investigation of the...

description The alarming issues related to the depletion of conventional fossil-based fuel resources have sparked interest in the search for alternative resources.

The torrefaction process was carried out at temperatures between 260 and 320 °C and residence times of 15 to 45 min.
