Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) decomposition and morphological study of Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) torrefied under N2, O2 and CO2 atmosphere

Due to biomass essential carbon neutrality, it is environmentally beneficial in using biomass as a renewable energy reserve via presently available thermochemical treatment processes. Torrefaction is known to be a thermal treatment process used in production of high graded solid biofuels from variou...
