Palm oil mill effluent (POME) and oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) constitute the highest waste generated in the mill. This study investigates thermochemical approaches, specifically wet torrefaction and gasification, aiming to transform these wastes into higher-value products such as biochar. Wet...
