Abstrakt: This work presents a thermochemical evaluation of fique bagasse waste resulting from industrial processes. Pelletization was implemented in order to mitigate the difficulty of dosing the raw waste with conventional feeding systems. The energy value of the fique bagasse used as fuel was evaluated separately through combustion and gasification. Combustion tests found the process to be thermally stable, and compatible with autothermal operation, with a thermal efficiency greater than 90% and a potential of use as energy close to 80% in the combustion gasses. Gasification produced the best quality of synthesis gas at an ER of 0.23, with a conversion greater than 96% and an HHV of greater than 5.0 MJ/Nm3, qualifying this gas as a potential heat source or as a fuel for power generation in internal combustion engines and micro-turbines.
