Abstract
Biomass is a viable alternative to reduced coal and fossil fuels as a clean energy source. This study focuses on the feasibility of using waste neem leaves as the feedstock for downdraft gasifier. The moisture content, volatile matter, fixed carbon, and ash content of waste neem leaves were determined as 12.1%, 60.58%, 9.31% and 18% respectively. The elemental composition of biomass was determined as carbon 41.99%, hydrogen 6.265%, nitrogen 2.823%, sulphur 0.311%, and oxygen 48.611% respectively. The higher heating values of waste neem leaves is 16.85 MJ/kg, which is better than rice husk and coal.
