Abstract
In Thailand, well recognized as one of the first-rank exporters of agricultural and food products, agricultural residue has been used as an energy source, especially in rural areas. In order to characterize the chemical properties of major agricultural residues to be used as fuel, an analytical protocol was developed. In this article, details of the analytical protocol are first described and preliminary results are then presented and discussed. Results of this study could serve to establish a database of Thai biomass fuels or feedstock that would support decision making in terms of energy conversion technology selection and operating conditions setting. ฉ 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
