The effectiveness of biological pretreatment of oil palm empty fruit bunch on its conversion into bio-coke

The demand for affordable energy will continue to increase. On the other side, the utilization of fossil fuels is causing drastic changes to our climate forcing us to search for more sustainable sources of energy. Lignocellulosic biomass waste from palm oil industry in Malaysia is one of the most ab...
