With growing interest in environmentally-friendly sources of energy, biofuel and pyrolysis are increasingly seen as potential solutions. In this study, the pyrolysis of groundnut shell is being investigated, with the intention of determining key kinetic parameters to provide a deeper understanding of the chemical process. A small sample of groundnut shell was pyrolyzed at different heating rates of 10, 20 and 30 K min−1. The thermogravimetric data was used to compare various kinetic models: including a single reaction, consecutive reaction, and dis- tributed activation energy model. The results showed that the consecutive reaction model best described the process when both reactions were set to the second order.
