Main goals

PMCI mobilized Nitidæ to conduct pyrolysis tests on biomass from the processing of two agricultural products: palm and coconut.

Specific objectives

SO1. On its bioenergy experimental platform in Bobo-Dioulasso, Nitidæ will carry out carbonization tests in its two pyrolysis ovens.
SO2. The tests will make it possible to obtain data in particular the yields obtained according to the duration and temperature parameters.
SO3. The results of the tests will make it possible to assess the interest in setting up a carbonization unit for the production of biochar.
