The adverse effect of the use of fossil fuels on the environment and public health has given
rise to a sustained renewable energy research and development. An important component …

Due to the rapid increase in the global demand for renewable energy and uneven, seasonal
distribution of bulky biomass resources, developing decentralized and mobile biomass …

This paper investigated the interactive effects between biomass and plastic, derived from
municipal solid wastes, during co-torrefaction of their mixtures. Mango branches (MBr) …

Thermoplastics, linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and polypropylene (PP), were
used as binders for the briquetting of sawdust. A novel hot-extrusion method (at 200° C for 3 …

This study explored the combustion behavior of co-torrefied biofuel derived from a novel
combination of hybrid biomass and plastic waste. With the advanced thermogravimetric …

The use of inert gases such as nitrogen continuously during torrefaction causes a burden in
terms of operational cost. Therefore, a novel concept of mild pressurization has been …

Dependence on inert gas such as nitrogen during torrefaction is not favourable due to the
burden in terms of operational costs. Therefore, various alternatives have been introduced to …

Olive Pomace (OP) biomass has a high potential for biofuel production. Dry torrefaction of
OP was carried out at 200–290° C in an inert environment in a tubular reactor. Low-Density …

This study presents physical and combustion properties of briquettes made of palm kernel
shell (PKS) with mixture of starch and water as binder. The briquettes with weight ratio of 60 …

Torrefaction is a low temperature treatment for lignocellulosic biomass at lower temperatures
between 473 K and 573 K under an inert atmosphere, which has been found to be effective …
