Overview

Experimental analysis identifies optimal torrefaction conditions for maximizing energy yield in biomass residues, suggesting effective biofuel production strategies.

Key Points

  • Torrefaction at 350 °C achieved the highest energy yield, particularly in rosemary cake, which reached a HHV of 36.4 MJ/kg.
  • Mass and energy yield for torrefied biomass decreased at higher temperatures, with rosemary cake showing the lowest recovery at 450 °C.
  • Thermogravimetric analysis revealed increased thermal stability in torrefied products, particularly at optimal torrefaction temperatures.
  • The findings suggest that agro-industrial residues can convert to biofuels, addressing waste issues and offering renewable energy solutions.
