A review of the combined torrefaction and densification technology as a source of renewable energy

Densification techniques allow biomass to be used in the energy mix with coal or as a direct replacement for coal as it is a renewable resource. Typically, biomass is bulky, so thermochemical methods, like torrefaction, reduce volatiles and moisture, leaving a higher composition of fixed carbon. Aft...
