The purpose of this research is to evaluate the intent of empty fruit bunches of palm oil (EFB
palm oil
) to catalytic gasification of wood produced charcoal (Wood
charcoal
) in order to notify the large-scale application of Wood
charcoal
as a possible gasification feedstock. In this study, co-catalyst of bismuth oxide (Bi
2
O
3
) was also used to obtain syngas. The raw samples were characterized by proximate and ultimate analyses, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. The produced syngas was analyzed by online portable gas analyzer and gas chromatography-thermal conductivity detector (GC-TCD). The syngas composition of H
2
increased from 3.91 to 4.70% (increased 20.20%), CO increased from 5.73 to 6.30% (increased 10.53%), whereas CO
2
decreased from 20.60 to 12.67% (decreased 38.50%) and CH
4
concentration increased insignificantly from 0.35 to 0.37% (increased 5.7%) which was happened due to the use of Wood
Charcoal
and Bi
2
O
3
with EFB
palm oil
during gasification. According to the findings, carbon is abundant in Wood
Charcoal
, which may considerably boost the gasification reactivity with Bi
2
O
3
. The yield of syngas (H
2
and CO) increased when Wood
Charcoal
and Bi
2
O
3
were used instead of single EFB
ppo
gasification, indicating that catalyst (Wood
Charcoal
) and co-catalyst (Bi
2
O
3
) have a high potential for thermal decomposition and dehydrogenation of volatile matter. Therefore, catalytic gasification of empty palm fruit bunches will be the prospective energy sources for the production of syngas with the utilization of Wood
Charcoal
and Bi
2
O
