This research investigates the thermal behaviour and synergistic effect of co-pyrolysis of coconut copra (CC) with eggshell (ES) for biofuels production using thermogravimetric analysis and a lab-scale tubular fixed-bed pyrolyzer at various CC:ES ratios. The TGA-DTG curves revealed that a CC:ES rati...
