“…The values of volatile material for barked and debarked sawdust were found to be in the range of 82% to 91% (Figure 4), and they were similar to values reported by different authors [6,75,[80][81][82][83]. Values below the average reported here were found by Forero-Núñez et al [84] (76.82%) and Demirbas [85] (66.6%).…”

“…Therefore, it is the most important parameter in terms of potential energy, because high fixed carbon contents are associated with high caloric powers [84]. On the other hand, low fixed carbon values are attributed to high ash contents [80]. Therefore, while the bark contains less volatile matter and a higher percentage of fixed carbon, higher calorific values would be expected in bark than in wood [86], which is consistent with the values reported here.…”

“…However, they were lower than the reported value by Sette et al [75] for wood and eucalyptus bark (17.3% and 16.7% respectively). They were higher than the values reported by Amirta et al [80] for the bark of biomass residues (3.39%) and for olive wood reported by García-Maraver et al [6] (1.0%).…”

Lack of knowledge regarding the fuel quality of diverse tree species prevents their use. Furthermore, the potential use of wood with the bark of different tree species for pellet production is still relatively unexplored in the scientific literature. In Mexico, the sawdust of Quercus genus (oak) is underutilized, despite it being an important forest resource, due to some anatomical and technological characteristics. The sawdust of Quercus with bark is also considered to have a low economic value. The objective of this study was to analyze the energy characteristics of barked and debarked Quercus sideroxyla, Q. rugosa, Q. laeta, and Q. conzattii in order to evaluate their potential for pellet production. Granulometric distribution, bulk density, proximal analysis, and calorific value tests were carried out. The sawdust of the four tree species studied was in accordance with the limits established by the standard EN 14961-2. Sawdust with a particle size of 0.425 mm had the highest percentage of retained mass (30.33%) (p < 0.05) in the granulometry test. There were no statistical differences in granulometry (p > 0.05) between barked and debarked sawdust for all Quercus species. Barked sawdust presented higher bulk density (p < 0.05) than debarked sawdust (246 and 224 kg/m3, respectively). The moisture content did not show statistical differences (p > 0.05) between barked and debarked sawdust. The volatile material was higher (p < 0.05) in debarked sawdust (88.7%) than in barked sawdust (85.0%). The ash content was below 0.5%. The fixed carbon was higher (p < 0.05) in barked sawdust (14.6%). The calorific value was higher (p < 0.05) in barked sawdust and for the Q. rugosa species (19.5 MJ/kg). The results suggest that the oak species analyzed, both barked and debarked, showed good potential for pellet production. Future studies should quantify fuel quality for a variety of diameter distributions, and analyze pellet mechanical properties and ash slagging risk.

“…The advantage of biomass pellets is that they produce low emissions [29], [33], [34] because biomass is carbon neutral, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and has low ash and sulfur content. Indonesia has also started to support the development of biomass pellets to be applied in the industry as a substitute for coal (cofiring) and households as an alternative to LPG [35]. Paper is a flammable material, which indicates that paper has high energy value [36].…”

<span lang="EN-US">Refuse derived fuel (RDF) is an environmentally friendly renewable fuel developed to reduce waste generation. RDF can consist of various kinds of waste such as paper and gardens. One of the critical parameters is the chemical element and calorific value. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential for waste reduction and the relationship of ultimate longevity in RDF to the calorific value. This study's paper and garden waste mixture were P0 (100% paper), P25 (75% paper and 25% garden), P50 (50% paper and 50% garden), P75 (25% paper and 75% garden), and P100 (100% garden). The calorific value of the mixture can reach 3.6-5.2 kWh/kg. Simultaneously the relationship of ultimate elements nitrogen (N), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), and ash affects the heating value of RDF. Sampling the application in Depok City can reduce waste by 6.67%, with the potential for electrical energy from paper and garden wastes of 358,903.8 kWh and 48,681 kWh, respectively. This shows that this energy waste can supply 0.1% of the total daily electricity demand in Depok City.</span>

“…Garden waste is biomass that has high cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin content. The lignin content can be a natural adhesive, increasing pellet density and calorific value [35]. Paper waste is also made of wood components, so that it has almost the same characteristics as wood which contains cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin fibers.…”

The purpose of this research was to process a mixture of paper waste and garden waste based on material flow analysis and to analyze its parameters based on water content, ash content, heating value, along with Thermogravimetry Analysis (TGA)/Derivative Thermogravimetry (DTG). The garden waste treatment process consists of shredding, drying with a rotary dryer, separator, and then shaving with a hammer mill. Paper waste only needs a shredder process. Then, the mixing process and pelletizing of paper waste as well as garden waste are carried out according to the variation (w/w) 100% paper (K100), 75% paper (K75), 50% paper (K50), 25% paper (K25), and 100% garden waste (K0). The water content ranged from 5.8 to 15.25%. From K0 to K100 samples, the ash content increased from 4.54 to 9.85%. A correlation of 0.9047 was found from samples K0 to K100. There was a correlation between increasing calorific value along with the mixture with paper waste. The caloric value in K0 to K100 increased from 13.11 to 19.03 MJ/kg. The TGA/DTG analysis reduced mass due to water evaporation, devolatilization, and carbonization processes.
