Thermochemical and biochemical routes are the two potential energy recovery modes from biomass. Irrespective of the methods employed, a better understanding of biomass fuels is essential as it projects storage, handling, and transportation issues. Knowledge on the properties of biomass also helps in the design of process equipment, prediction of product distribution and product components, etc. In this work, some essential analyses such as proximate, ultimate, sieve, bulk density, heating value, wet chemical, and thermogravimetry of some locally available biomass feedstock are performed and interpretation of the analysis findings in the context of pyrolysis and gasification is elaborated here.
