Torrefaction of Biomass

Torrefaction of Biomass

 
Solution type: in Development phase

Studying the effects of solid biofuel in connection with the electricity system

Funded project: ForskEL

The project aims at studying and understanding the effects and potentials of using new technology for solid biofuel and waste upgrading to achieve more efficient integration into the existing electricity system. The technology used is mild thermal pre-treatment known as torrefaction with considerable chemical and physical effect on biomass.
