Canadian Bio-Coal

Biocoal is created through a torrefaction process that heats biomass primarily from waste-wood fibre which has essentially the same BTU values as coal and the same physical qualities.

This means waste wood now has a value as a value-added product. Various fibres, however, can also be used including those from agriculture. There are various methods used for torrefaction.

In our case we use a non-polluting, low-energy Microwave system.

Biocoal is recognized world-wide as a bio-fuel that can help reduce emissions from many sources including coal-fired power stations.

It is also finding uses in agriculture to replace some chemical fertilizers.
