Abstract
Since the industrial revolution, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been unprecedentedly rising. Burning of traditional fossil fuels for thermal and power generation results into the increase of greenhouse gases emission. In order to effectively achieve carbon dioxide abatement, the strategy of partially replacing coal with biomass as carbon neutral has become a trend globally. However, the solid fuel properties between raw materials and coal are very distinct. Torrefaction, considered as one of thermal degradation process, can effectively improve the grindability, hydrophobicity and heating value of solid fuel. In this study, Taguchi method was employed to probe the optimization parameters of Alee trees torrefaction process for maximizing the solid combustion, evaluating via the criterion of the combination index derived from proximate analysis and element analysis. EFB is chosen as another materials to validate the variability of the two developed index.
