Biomass waste are attractive energy source that can combat the rising energy challenge facing the world when utilized appropriately and accordingly. Unfortunately, the knowledge of the potential of some biomass waste are still missing and this has affected their maximum utilization as energy source in thermal processes like gasification. In this study, the potential of palm oil decanter cake (PODC) for syngas production through thermal processes was determined by bomb calorimeter, CHNS analyzer, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF).
