Poduct Details
- Biocoal has an energy content similar to that of coal, which enables a generating unit to operate at full load.
- It can also be co-fired with coal in any proportion, or replace coal completely - turning a coal-fired plant into a 100% renewable energy plant.
Biocoal pellets provide superior performance compared to conventional wood pellets, making them the fuel of choice in existing coal-fired facilities.
- Biocoal's unique properties allow it to be easily integrated into existing systems for handling storing and grinding coal, without major changes or expensive conversion.
- Torrefied pellets are water resistant allowing them to be stored outside in a pile where they can withstand the elements whereas wood pellets easily deteriorate under wet conditions.
- Wood pellets are difficult to grind and require the addition of specially designed grinding and handling systems while biocoal is easily friable.
Benefits
Extend useful life of assets
A conversion to torrified pellets enables power producers to extend the useful life of existing assets in jurisdictions where coal-fired power plants are being phased-out.
Lower emmission and pollution
Compared to coal, torrefied pellets can reduce the greenhouse gas emissions by 90% per GWh. Biomass combustion also reduces nitrogen oxides (NOX) emissions by 50% to 70% and sulfur dioxides (SO2) emissions by 90%, while generating no toxic mercury emissions.
Sustainable and renewable fuel
There is no net addition to the atmosphere when biomass is used as a fuel to produce energy. The amount of carbon dioxyde released during combustion is the same as was captured by trees during their growth phase. The carbon dioxide circulates in a renewable, carbon-neutral cycle.
Dispatchable base load power
Biocoal-fired power plants can easily and quickly adjust output to fluctuations in demand. Weather-dependent, intermittent renewable energy sources lack the flexibility and reliability of biocoal to provide dispatchable base load power.
Dust-free bulk loading
The excellent durability and low fine content of the BiocoalFX enable dust-free bulk loading in a container, a vessel hold or a truck.
Low transportation costs
Biocoal pellets have superior energy density, reducing supply chain and logistics costs by 25% to 30% compared to conventional wood pellets. Biocoal pellets can be produced in Canada, from certified forests, and be exported anywhere in the world by sea, rail and trucks.
