Summary:Co-pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass and coal is considered as an effective way to reduce the carbon footprint. Bamboo is being a potential source of bioenergy particularly in the North East States of India; the thermal performance and synergetic behaviour of co-pyrolysis of bamboo with high ash Indian coal are investigated at various heating rates in a thermogravimetric analyser. Three different blend samples (25% bamboo with 75% coal, 50% bamboo with 50% coal and 75% bamboo with 25% coal) are used. The kinetic parameters are determined using three isoconversional methods: Friedman, Ozawa-Flynn-Wall and Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose. Average activation energy for all three blend samples is found in the range of 121–253 kJ/mol. Co-pyrolysis of all three blend samples have revealed some synergistic effect. However, the blend containing 25% of bamboo has shown the highest synergetic effect in terms of thermodynamic parameters.
