Tar is derived from the gasification of cellulose and hemicellulose-rich coconut shell (CS) and lignin rich-palm kernel shell (PKS) using a downdraft fixed-bed reactor at 700 °C�900 °C. The tar yields and higher heating values from both biomass decrease with the increase in temperature, but high...
