Techno economic analysis of dry leaves via low temperature mechanism

Biomass resources has been introduced by scientist decades ago. However, the world still depends on fossil fuel resources as a source of energy in their daily lives. With increasing price of fossil fuels and depletion over the years, fossil fuel cannot sustain the world future since the sources are limited. Moreover, fossil fuels produce more pollution and contribute to the greenhouse effect. This research is mainly conducted to study the techno economic analysis of dry leaves as a biomass resources by using low temperature mechanisms process. Two process are chosen to be studied in this research which are pyrolysis and torrefaction. A simulation will be created to compare the two process in terms of yield and cost. The tools used for this study is Aspen Hysys.
