Bamboo Characterization For Thermochemical Conversion And Feasibility Study Of Bamboo Based Gasification And Charcoal Making

Energy Systems Engineering of Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai. Principal Investigator Dr. Anuradha Ganesh, September 2003

Executive Summary

The bamboo supplied had a calorific value of about 16 MJ/kg (on dry basis) and a moisture content of 13%. The fixed carbon and the volatile matter contents are typically about 15% and 80% respectively. The sulphur content in the fuel is non traceable and therefore poses no problem. The above classifies bamboo as a good fuel for energy conversion and comparable to any other wood. This is particularly so when the percentages of ash are below 5% as is the case here.
