In this work, thermal degradation behavior of six local biomasses such as empty fruit bunch, rice husk, coconut pulp, saw dust, coconut shell, and sugarcane bagasse in Malaysia via pyrolysis was studied. The pyrolysis process was carried out from 25 to 700 °C under nitrogen atmosphere flowing at 150...
