Advanced wood processing technology solution for renewable energy industry - Energy - Renewable Energy
The primary application of TSI technology is for the drying of wood chips to make Industrial Wood Pellets. In this industry TSI builds many complete Dryer Island Systems (see products page) that include a turn-key process island complete with Heat Energy, Drying and Pollution Control. Industrial Wood Pellets are a renewable fuel used in Utility Power Stations instead of coal. Whereas coal emits CO2 into the atmosphere with no reciprocal absorption or other mitigation, wood pellets come from trees that absorb CO2 as they grow before releasing it as they are burnt.
Overview Applications and Industries
It is therefore a renewable cycle when based on sustainable forestry practices. If combined with Carbon Capture and Storage technology it becomes a carbon negative pathway to energy generation. TSI torrefaction technology is a next generation technology for the same industry that can create a more carbon dense product with applications not only in power generation but also biofuels, plastics, steelmaking, and even soil conditioning.
