  • What is biomass used for in Africa?
  • In Africa, biomass is used mainly as firewood and charcoal (Janssen 2012). In Lusaka, Zambia, 85% of urban households use charcoal and the estimated consumption per household per year is 1.3 tons of charcoal (Gumbo et al. 2013). To produce this amount of charcoal, 8 tons of wood are needed (Gumbo et al. 2013).
  • Can coconut shell biomass be used for thermochemical conversion?
  • The paper aims at understanding the specialties of coconut shell biomass, which is directly used for thermochemical conversion mainly for charcoal production via; chemical structure, energy potential, and morphological analysis.
  • Is coconut shell biomass a source of energy for power generation?
  • Interest and evaluation of new raw materials are required to guarantee the reduction in emissions, the production of chemicals, and the energy crisis shortly . This indicates an in-depth study of coconut shell biomass as source of energy for power generation. The coconut shell biomass was not completely exploited.
  • Can coconut shell biomass be used for charcoal production?
  • Hence, the use of coconut shell biomass for charcoal production could be cost-effective and eco-friendly, because the biomass is abundant at a very low price, and the comprehensive quantitative-characterization of the biomass shows its potential for waste to energy applications through thermochemical technology.
