A comparative study on the heat release during the combustion of coal and oil palm biomass charcoal briquette via thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)

The world is seriously searching for an alternative to fossil fuels due to their tremendous environmental effect. However, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydropower, and biomass were anticipated to be alternative energies. In this study, the amount of heat generate...
