Abstract

Global warming and environmental pollution are accelerating due to the continued use of fossil fuels. To address these problems, biomass is being considered as an alternative and renewable energy source. In this study, the use of agricultural byproducts as a new bioenergy resource was investigated considering their conversion into a fuel via the torrefaction process. In particular, pepper stems (Capsicum annuum) were selected as a renewable agricultural byproduct for this energy conversion process. The longer residence time and the higher temperature, The larger amount of mass reduction and the higher heating value by torrefaction, which showed that there was a correlation between the heating value and mass reduction (R2 = 0.9621). The reaction rate constants for the mass reduction model were then derived from the empirical Arrhenius equation.
