Abstract
Depletion of fossil fuels and the adverse impacts burning these fuels has increased the attention towards utilizing biomass energy sources, thus increasing the focus on Bio-Coke technology, which can fully convert biomass waste into alternative fuels. This study analyzed the characteristics of Bio-Coke conversion from biomass abundantly found in Malaysia, which included rice husk, rubber wood sawdust, coconut husk, sugarcane bagasse, oil palm frond, oil palm trunk and empty fruit bunch (EFB). Results indicated better physical feature characteristics of biomass solid fuel. For example, Bio-Coke produced from EFB showed an apparent density of 1.414 g/cm3, combustion duration of 1664 s, and maximum compressive strength at room temperature (25 °C) and 700 °C of 95.107 and 9.412 MPa, respectively, which were found to be higher than that of wood pellet. This study showed Bio-Cokes can be potentially used as an alternative fuel to reduce the usage of coal coke in the future.
