Abstract
Malaysia is a developing country which generates plenty of biomass wastes from plantation and industries which have caused environmental problems. This predicament could be solved if the biomass residues are properly managed or converted them into value-added products such as pellets or briquettes. The sources of biomass waste in Malaysia are enormous and have the potential to be utilised as fuel for power generation. Pelletisation is a densified biomass for ease transportation and distribution. It is widely developed in the European countries especially for the electricity generation and as fuel for home heating system. The source for plantation waste in Malaysia especially from oil palm industry, paddy, coconut and sago plantation are abundant and easily to be collected. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to use sago plantation wastes such as fronds as raw material for pelletisation. This study also investigated the properties of such pellet on moisture content, calorific value, ash content and amount of fine produced. The pellets produced from this study has low calorific value as compare to wood pellet but others properties are comparable.
