![]() ![]() ![]() Firewood was characterized by a fibrous network, while charcoal showed a dentritic network structure with micropores. Therefore, this study seeks to identify the thermo-chemical conversion characteristics of five local commonly used firewood species, namely Dichrostachys cinerea, Morus lactea, Piliostigma thonningii, Combretum molle, and Albizia grandibracteata and their charcoals produced after slow pyrolysis. This information is needed to develop environmentally friendly combustion reactors suitable for these firewood species and charcoal as well as guide policy decisions on fuels appropriation for different purposes. ![]() However, very few studies have documented any information on pyrolysis kinetics and combustion performance characteristics for firewood and charcoal in sub-Saharan Africa. Firewood and charcoal are relatively abundant in sub-Saharan Africa and have low cost of production, hence their continued dominance as an energy source. ![]()
