Torrefaction of biomass under anoxic condition can produce an energy den se and consistent quality solid biomass fuel for combustion and co-firin g applications. This paper investigates the fuel characteristics of food waste at torrefaction temperatures ranging from 150 to 600 °C, for tor refaction residence time varying from 0 to 50 min in a horizontal tubula r reactor. The torrefied products were characterized in terms of their e lemental composition, energy yield, ash content and volatile fraction. T he gaseous products from torrefaction of food waste were also analyzed. Thermogravimetric analysis was carried out in order to obtain the kinet ic parameters for the torrefaction reaction of food waste. It was found that the food waste undergoes changes in their physical and chemical pr operties during torrefaction. The energy and mass yield were also found to decrease with an increase in the torrefaction temperature, whereas t he higher heating value increased.
