What you’ll learn
This free webinar presents the results from a life cycle assessment and economic analysis of producing torrefied biomass from forest residues. Torrefaction is a low temperature thermal treatment process that improves the fuel handling characteristics of biomass. Using data collected from a pilot plant built for the Waste to Wisdom project, this webinar presents an outlook on the future of smaller-scale near-woods torrefaction from an environmental and economic perspective. Specifically, we will discuss the implications from a life cycle assessment of torrefied biomass and then describe the economics and potential markets.
Who can benefit
Forestland managers, logging and biomass contractors, biomass conversion tech firms, biomass marketing specialists, government agencies that regulate air quality, academics interested in utilization of biomass, and more.
