Abstract
This study aims at identifying the potentially viable renewable fuel resources, characterizing the combustion properties of each and to determine those that have potential for use as commercial fuels for domestic and industrial uses. Twenty-three (23) fuels were identified and studied by characterizing their combustion properties viz; calorific value. Also their availability and ease of preparation were studied. As a result of the tests, ten (10) of the twenty-three (23) fuels have been recommended as suitable for exploitation for domestic or industrial uses. Also, it has been recommended that project titles be initiated on the development of systems (equipment) to utilize these recommended fuels.
