Airex Energy, a world leader in large-scale biomass torrefaction, is pleased to announce that it has received approval from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for the sale and use of its BiocharFX product in Canada. ...
The sustainable residual flows of biomass are converted into biofuel through so-called torrefaction technology. With this technology the biomass is converted into sustainable coal via a thermal refining process. ...
We visit the scientists’ greenhouse were hybrid aspen plants are grown to make better trees for bio-based production and Sweden's only pilot plant for the roasting of biomass—torrefaction—for the ease of handling and converting woody and starch-based biomass into fuels and chemicals. ...
It also designs various options for the pre-treatment or pre-processing of biomass by means for instance of catalysis, separation, fractionation or torrefaction. This introduction mainly takes place on site so that students have the possibility to gain an appreciation of the actual handling of pilot equipment and to have contacts with the engineers and other technicians running ...
Influence of Biomass Particle Properties and Pyrolysis Conditions on Char Reactivity In addition to the oral presentations listed above, Bio4Energy had two poster presentations Nordwager M, Nordin A. Biomass Upgrading by Torrefaction – Resulting Powder Characteristics Ma C, Weiland F, Öhman M, Wiinikka H, Backman R. ...
January 2015 will see the startup of a high-efficiency, 65 million-Swedish-kroner demonstration unit for the torrefaction of woody biomass at Holmsund, Sweden. This technology for roasting biomass invented by Bio4Energy researchers has already been tested at pilot facilities at Umeå, a 20-minute drive from the demonstration unit in progress. ...
Some special sectors like pyrolysis oil, torrefaction, pellets etc. are mentioned in this report. The current statistics on bioenergy have issues regarding data consistency and lack of interrelations between all aspects of bioenergy. ...
Topics discussed at World Pellets included the opportunities for further value-added products by means of torrefaction and the use of new raw materials from by-products such as agro-pellets in agriculture and lignin pellets in the forest industry. ...

Agenda sessions and conference highlights include: Future European Legislation: energy taxation, sustainability, Biomass Supply: pellets, wood chips, torrefaction, trading, Sustainability criteria and certification Markets: support schemes Several company profile cases Dinner at the EU Parliament (25 June) B2B meetings focused on biomass supply/demand (26 June) ...
The company's initial facility, scheduled to be operational in 2013, will produce wood pellets that will be sold under agreements with major utilities. The torrefaction process involves superheating biomass to create a uniform, hydrophobic, dense, and highly efficient fuel akin to coal but with a superior environmental profile. ...
Projects offered ran from small to large scale including biorefineries from canola seeds, pyrolysis oil and char from wood residues, a technology that produces densified, energy-rich wood pellets and biodiesel under the same roof, and a uniquely efficient torrefaction process. Also participating was the Forest Products Association of Canada looking for partners to participate in ...
Metso is a forerunner in developing innovations and apart from contributing to research in oxyfuel combustion, Metso is also involved in developing new technologies for torrefaction, biogasification, pyrolysis and LignoBoost that are important energy solutions for the future. ...
At the World Bioenergy conference and trade fair from 25-27 May in Jönköping, Sweden, the Swedish company Torkapparater AB will present their drying and torrefaction technology that transforms fresh biomass into a coal like substitute. The torrefaction process can also be used in other areas. Torkapparater has been developing drying and thermal HT ...
