Workshop rationale and aim
Torrefaction is an interesting pre-treatment technology for biomass before pelletisation and/or combustion. It is a thermo-chemical process for the upgrading of biomass that is usually run at temperatures ranging from 250 to more than 300°C under the exclusion of oxygen and at ambient pressure.
Task 32, in co-operation with Task 40 andthe EU SECTOR project organised a workshop on torrefaction
as a parallel session within the Central European Biomass Conference 2014 in Graz, Austria.
The presentations can be downloaded below. A summary of the presentations and conclusions of the round table discussion is available here.
