Synthesis of Bio-Oil from Oil Palm’s Empty Fruit Bunch via Pyrolysis

Due to the increase in crude price oil prices and environmental concerns, a search for sustainable lternative fuel has gained significant attention. This involves the conversion of biomass to produce multiple type of fuels and products via pyrolysis or gasification. This work focused on syn...
