This research seeks to investigate thermochemical upgrading of Malaysian coconut husk and rubber seed to coal co-firing feedstock via torrefaction. Torrefaction experiments within a range of temperatures (200-300°C) and holding times (30 and 60 min) were carried out using a tubular furnace. Mass yie...
