Palm Bio-Oil Upgrading Research-Towards Effective Utilization of Waste

Abstract:

Biomass utilization has arouse great attention and interest in recent years as it offers a net zero carbon footprint and security of the feedstocks. Current utilization process of biomass can be classified into biochemical and thermochemical conversion process. Pyrolysis process seems to be the promising conversion process in securing chemical feedstock as pyrolysis oil can be futher upgraded for chemical extraction. This paper reviews the most abundance biomass in Malaysia which is palm waste and discusses the its utilization by prolysis process. Upgrading research of pyrolysis oil also been discussed as to promotes the effective utilization of waste and securing alternative energy source.
