ABSTRACT
An innovative process offers an environmental friendly technology for the production of alternative energy from a sustainable renewable resource. In the new process, EFB-Diesel is innovatively produced from biomass via a two-step reaction of pretreatment and pyrolysis. The reaction produced highly valuable oil (EFB-Diesel), gaseous and char. The conversion and the yield of EFB-Diesel were [...]
