Comparative bio-energy potential of De-oiled coconut pulp
Coconut shell and De-oiled coconut pulp have a stable carbon content of 49.8% and 45.3% respectively. These values are lower than those reported by Fawzy, et al. [89] for biochar produced from Olive tree pruning residues (OTPR), however a parametric study will optimize the stable carbon content of these biomass wastes. 3.1.2.
The present study summarizes the types of solid biofuel production technologies deployed in Nigeria as well as the biomass feedstock utilized in the production of fuel briquettes and pellets. While opportunities exist in the gasification of biomass in Nigeria, direct combustion is a readily applicable fuel conversion process that can be
An Assessment of Potential Resources for Biomass Energy in
An estimation of the technical energy potential of the biomass resources revealed that about 2.33 EJ could be generated from the available resources in Nigeria. Agricultural residues have an energy potential of about 1.09 EJ, with cassava, maize, oil palm, plantain, rice, and sorghum being the major contributors.
The energy content available in the coconut shell is approximately 20.8 MJ/kg [ 21 ]. This is higher than all the biomass presented including the coconut husk. The moisture content of 7.82% [ 54] is within the permissible standard value [ 26 ]. It has a fixed carbon content of 21.6% [ 55 ].
Energy Potential of Coconut Biomass | BioEnergy Consult
The coconut shell has a high calorific value of 20.8MJ/kg and can be used to produce steam, energy-rich gases, bio-oil, biochar etc. It is to be noted that coconut shell and coconut husk are solid fuels and have the peculiarities and problems inherent in this kind of fuel. Coconut shell is more suitable for pyrolysis process as it contain lower
Biomass plays an important role in the production of “green” energy. Tomasz and Zenonin (2012) reported that biomass contributes about 68 % of the total energy generated from renewable resources in the European Union (EU) in 2009. During the nineteenth century, biomass predominated global energy consumption.
Biomass utilization for energy production in Nigeria: A review
Biomass utilization for energy production offers one of the means to make energy available to the people ( Nwoke et al., 2020 ). This is relevant to Nigeria where only 40% of the population are connected to the national grid, with an average power outage of 10–12 h/d ( Yusuf et al., 2019 ).
Biomass is the major energy source in Nigeria, contributing about 78% of Nigeria's primary energy supply. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the potential of biomass resources and biofuel
