Mixtures with 5% (w/w) of dry animal fat, 57% (w/w) of dry treated crude glycerol and 38% (w/w) of water were studied in a fixed bed down flow gasification reactor at 800°C and 900°C. The increase of gasification temperature seems not to affect the energy and exergy yields of the overall process.engAnimal fatCo-gasificationCrude glycerolExergyEnergyjournal article10.1504/IJEX.2022.122081
