Implication

Experimental analysis demonstrates enhanced biochar and syngas production from palm oil mill waste, indicating a viable strategy for renewable energy generation.

Key Points

  • Wet torrefaction combined with gasification successfully converts oil palm empty fruit bunches and palm oil mill effluent into combustible syngas and high-yield biochar.
  • Solid yield reached 82% during initial wet torrefaction, and subsequent thermal gasification produced up to 59% biochar alongside combustible syngas for mill use.
  • Thermochemical analysis using gas chromatography reveals that valorizing palm oil mill effluent and empty fruit bunches may enable sustainable energy generation within mills.
