Sub-critical water (sub-CW) technology was utilised to produce solid biochar (SB) from oil palm trunk (OPT). This study evaluated the production of SB from sub-CW treatment of the top and bottom parts of 21- and 35-year old OPT. The SB production and its properties were assessed by means of higher h...
