  • Abstract
    Abandon biomass energy resources are available in the world. Different types of biomass produced from various sources. These biomasses are used as raw material of energy. As per analytical analysis of palm oil EFB it is found that each ton raw EFB can be converted into 0.18 m3 ethanol or 0.968 GJ power that are equivalent about 1429 kWh and 269 kWh energy respectively. Therefore, biomass conversion process should be selected as per required form of energy for more benefits. Energy contained in each of the biomass materials not same. Mainly the energy contained in the biomass depends on its chemical composition. Each biomass sources chemical composition is different. There are many types of biomass conversion processes are established. Different biomass conversion processes are used for different purposes that are depends on the requirement form of energy. However, this research has focused a massage that appropriate biomass conversion process should be selected for efficient conversion into required form of energy with respect to biomass characteristic.
