The average latent heat of evaporation of water is 2.3 MJ/kg at 25oC-160oC. The heating value of a biomass material is 17 MJ/kg on a dry basis. If the moisture content of the biomass is 50% on a wet basis, what percentage of the total energy stored in the biomass is required to remove all water in the biomass during gasification
