N2 - Biomass is one of the most promising renewable energy sources; however, there is a lack of knowledge about the fuel properties of several biomasses. Lippia origanoides bagasse is a residue from the essential oil extraction process that could be used as fuel for the same process. With the aim of contributing to the knowledge of the fuel properties of that residual biomass, in this work, we carried out a kinetic study of its devolatilization using the Friedman method and the Independent Parallel Reactions Scheme. The results were verified by comparing the calculated and measured conversion curves. Although both methods show good agreement with the experimental results, the parallel reactions scheme provides a more detailed description of the process. The results are similar to those reported for other biomasses used as solid fuels, which indicates that the studied biomass could be a potential fuel for solid combustion systems.
