Comparison of Biofuel Production from Agriculture Crops and Residuals by Pyrolysis

The use of fossil fuels is a major source of energy, leading to many problems such as climate change, environmental impact and human health problems. On the other hand, oil and natural gas prices are currently rising steadily, prompting researchers to find new energy sources that could replace them in the future.

In comparing biofuels from crops and agricultural wastes using PYROLYSIS, we tested six different raw materials: corn kernels, coconut oil, cassava, bagasse, rice husk and coconut. And each raw material needs to be baked three times at three different temperatures: 200^oC, 250^oC and 300^oC, each burning requires 10 kg of dry raw material. After burning, we get charcoal and bio oil. Bio oil is a bio-oil that contains a lot of water, so we have to remove the water by evaporation.

As a result, at a temperature of 200^oC is the temperature at which coal can be produced, with the highest yield from the husk material. Palm oil can produce the most crudes oil than others at all three temperatures 200^oC, 250^oC and 300^oC.
