Effects of temperatures (360, 390 and 450 {\^A}oC) and pressures (25, 30 and 35 MPa) of the liquefaction of biomass on the bio-oil yields are investigated. The optimum liquefaction conditions for EFB and PKS using water are at supercritical conditions. PKS which consists of higher lignin content yields maximum bio-oil of about 41.3 wt at temperature of 450 {\^A}oC and the bio-oil yield from EFB is about 37.4 wt at temperature of 390 {\^A}oC. {\^A}{\copyright} 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84914171103&doi=10.4028\%2fwww.scientific.net\%2fAMM.625.881&partnerID=40&md5=0a768bba5a2c8803652faa35d3afe132}, keywords = {Biofuels; Biomass; Fruits; Liquefaction; Oil shale, Bio oil; Hydrothermal liquefactions; Oil palm biomass; Oil palm empty fruit bunch; Sub- and supercritical waters; Supercritical; Supercritical condition; Supercritical hydrothermal, Palm oil}, isbn = {9783038351818}, author = {Herng, C.
