TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview on the palm oil industry, oil palm biomass and current management scenario, pyrolysis process, parameters that influence the pyrotechnics process, and the effect of these parameters on the pyroglysis product yield.

TL;DR: In this paper, the conversion of coconut shell biomass into biochar using microwave-assisted pyrolysis (MAP) was reported and two of the highest biochar yields were obtained at 550W with the residence times of 15 minutes (91.31 wt) and 20 minutes (83.88 wt), respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluate the process's environmental impact, carbon footprint, and bioenergy yield when different pyrolysis atmospheres are used, and demonstrate microwave pyro-lysis as a negative emission, bioenergy-producing approach for waste activated sludge disposal and valorization.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of dilute acid, lime and ammonia aqueous pretreatment on the fermentable sugars conversion from empty fruit bunch (EFB) biomass.

TL;DR: In this paper , a phenomenological study investigated the environmental awareness of three batik entrepreneurs in Malaysia via interviews and found that despite some level of environmental awareness among the entrepreneurs, they still practiced poor environmental batik making and disposal methods due to the lack of affordable technology.
