Investigation on the sewage sludge for possible fuel formulation as renewable energy is being considered. The characterization of waste sludge on its volatility, High Heating Value and Energy output value will provide a preliminary finding for usage as potential biomass fuel. Co-combustion of sewage sludge and coal provide another formulation for potential biomass fuel depend on its technical viability and economical input. {\^A}{\copyright} 2018 The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85056751410&doi=10.1051\%2fmatecconf\%2f201822504019&partnerID=40&md5=002dee50d5189c6632750773c9ce00a7}, keywords = {Biomass; Coal combustion; Fuels; Sewage sludge; Waste incineration; Waste treatment, Biomass fuels; Energy output; Fuel characterisation; Fuel formulation; High heating values; Renewable energies; Sludge and coals; Technical viability, Sewage treatment plants} }
