Biomass can generate various solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels through thermo and biochemical conversions. Char is one of the solid substances produced by pyrolysis-a thermo-chemical conversion technique. In this study, energy crops, such as Casuarina equisetifolia, Acacia horrida, Melia dubia, Simarouba glauca, and crop residues, namely, Areca catechu husk and Jatropha curcas husk, were used for the char production. The char yield of 29-33% was obtained at the carbonization temperature of 400 degrees C. The volatile matter and fixed carbon content of the char varies from 21.57 to 32.10% and 56.71 to 77.93%, respectively. The A. horrida species had the highest calorific value of 7,079 kCal/kg. The tested physical and fuel properties of the char was within the limit prescribed by FAO.
