Optimization of empty palm fruit bunch pyrolysis over HZSM-5 catalyst for production of bio-oil

The concerns over depletion of fossil fuel and security of energy supply have directed increasing awareness about biomass derived energy. Empty palm fruit bunch (EPFB), one of the major biomass available in Malaysia, is a potential source for fuel production. The objective of the present work is to...
