"Abstract�: This paper investigates the thermochemical characteristics of date palm fronds (DPFs) to use as feedstock for different energy conversion processes. The proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, calorific value measurements, and elemental content measurements were carried out using some quantitative and qualitative techniques. At later stage, the gasification of DPFs was carried out in an externally hot gasifier system. The effect of gasification temperature and biomass particle size on gas composition and heating value of producer gas was investigated. The results showed that the thermochemical characteristics of DPFs were comparable with other biomass materials reported in the past literature. The gasification trials of the biomass revealed that temperature has a significant effect on gas composition, especially H2 and CO contents. The high temperature yielded high H2 and CO concentrations in the product gas. A good quality gas composition (in terms of H2, CO, CH4, and CO2 contents) was obtained from bigger particle sizes as compared to smaller sizes. The thermochemical characteristics of DPFs and gasification results showed that DPF feedstock is comparable with other conventional biomass for production of energy through appropriate thermochemical technologies. © 2019, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd."^^ .
