Abstract

The rising cost of, and pressure on reserves of, fossil fuels such as petroleum, coupled with sustainability and environmental issues, has led to research in alternative biofuels that are greener and more sustainable. One such biofuel is bamboo. Its fast growth rate is one of the main driving factors for its consideration as a sustainable option. In this study, a review is conducted of the production of charcoal, pellets, ethanol, and methane gas from bamboo. Bamboo has been found to be capable of generating commercial quantities of ethanol and methane gas. However, pre-treatment process optimisation is still required. Experimentation on bamboo pellets to determine their average calorific value and the fluent-as emission levels associated with their combustion is reported. The average calorific value (CV) observed for bamboo pellets is of 17,650 J/kg, which satisfies the minimum requirement for commercial use. Emissions from the combustion of pellets were within acceptable limits. Bamboo is therefore considered a viable alternative to fossil fuels.
