The torrefaction
Biomass torrefaction is a thermal process used to produce high-grade solid biofuels from various streams of woody biomass or agro residues. The end product is a stable, homogeneous, high quality solid biofuel with far greater energy density and calorific value than the original feedstock, providing significant benefits in logistics, handling and storage, as well as opening up a wide range of potential uses.
Torrefaction of biomass results in a high grade biofuel which can be used as a replacement of coal in electricity and heat production and as input for gasification processes in the production of high value biobased fuels and chemicals.
Benefits over regular pellets:
- Higher calorific value
- More homogeneous product
- Higher bulk density
- Excellent grindability
- Higher durability
- Hydrophobic nature/water resistance
- No biological activity
- Low chlorine
Ideal coal replacement:
- Grinds & burns like coal – existing infrastructure can be used
- Lower feedstock costs
- Lower shipping and transport costs
- Minimal de-rating of the power plant
- Provides non-intermittent renewable energy
- Lower sulfur (compared with coal)
