The report explains, in detail, the fundamentals of torrefaction and steam explosion treatments of biomass. The report has techno-economic analyses of leading torrefaction and steam explosion technologies. The report has an extensive section on the use of biogenic carbon in steel making. There is a section on the potential for using EFB (empty fruit bunch) as feedstock. The report has several “case studies” of projects and technologies to watch. And the report has a section on the heretofore poorly recognized challenge that results from runoff from the outdoor storage of “black” pellets.
