Co-Gasification Of Coal And Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) In An Entrained Flow Gasification Process

In Malaysia, empty fruit bunch (EFB) is one of the major biomass source from the palm oil industry. It is an environmental friendly, renewable and sustainable source of energy, which may be used to generate electricity and other forms of energy. EFB may be converted into synthesis gas (syngas) throu...
