Chinese researchers studying hazelnut shell bio-oil as renewable energy source

Hazelnut shells are being studied by Chinese researchers for their potential as a renewable energy source.

In burning the shells, the leftover wood vinegar and tar could be considered as a potential source of renewable energy, the Journal for Renewable and Sustainable Energy reported.

The research has laid a foundation for further applications of bio-oil derived from waste hazelnut shell pyrolysis.
