Characterization and Optimization of Coal-Biomass Blends for Syngas Production as Alternative Transport Fuel Sources for Two-Stroke Internal Combustion Engines in Tricycles-Tuk Tuks in Kenya by Benson Kariuki, Paul Njogu, Joseph Kamau, Robert Kinyua

“…Gasification of coal and biomass is considered as an alternative source for small-sized engines, such as tricycles in Kenya. Mui basin coal is a low-quality coal, available in Kenya, and blending with selected biomass (rice husks, Prosopis juliflora, and Hyphaene compressa) presents a new source of alternative transport fuel through cogasification and upgrading. …”
