Coconut shell represents a promising biomass for energy production, given their wide availability. In this study, the thermo-kinetics of coconut shells were examined through thermogravimetric analysis from 30 °C to 1000 °C at 5 °C/min under N2. Advanced analytical tools assessed the elemental, micro...
