Oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) biomass is a potential source of renewable energy. Catalytic fast -pyrolysis batch process was initially performed to convert oil palm EFB into bio-oil, followed by its refinement to jet bio-fuel. Crystalline zeolites A and Y; synthesised from rice husk ash (RHA), we...
