A Study on Co-firing Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) with Coal as Potential Fuel

The aim of the project was to understand the effects of both coal firing and co-firing coal with Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) in terms of carbon dioxide concentration emission and temperature in the furnace. This dissertation looks into the utilization of Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) as a source of renewable and sustainable energy source for co-firing in coal power plants in Malaysia through the feasibility of the EFB as a fuel, the combustion technology options for co-firing, and the fuel blend suitable for co-firing in local coal fired power plants.
