Biofuels Digest just published IBTC President Michael Wild’s presentation at ABLC Global 2018 in San Francisco, during which he delivered an overview of biomass torrefaction’s status, market requirements, and supply chain efficiency comparison. See the presentation >>
Abstract Measurements reported in the literature on ultimate analysis of various types of torrefied woody biomass, comprising 152 data points, have been compiled and empirical correlations are developed to predict the carbon content, hydrogen content, and heating value of a torrefied wood as a function of solid mass yield. The range of torrefaction temperature, residence time and solid yield of … Read More
Every year since its debut release in 2007, AEBIOM´s Statistical Report provides an in-depth description of the bioenergy sector in the EU28 Member States.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the optimal temperature range for waste wood and the effect torrefaction residence time had on torrefied biomass feedstock. Temperature range of 200–400 °C and residence time of 0–50 min were considered. In order to investigate the effect of temperature and residence time, torrefaction parameters, such as mass yield, energy yield, volatile … Read More
Although the main advantages of torrefaction have already been demonstrated, the question about its efficiency is still under examination. In order to analyse the energy balance and the efficiency level in torrefaction, IBTC has recently realised an article in which a test case is reported. You can find the full article here .
