Torrefaction: Varmeforbehandling af træflis
The experiences and conclusions generated from the project are that any torrefaction process is too costly in the present energy market, the additional costs of generating torrefied pellets compared to conventional biomass pellets are substantially higher than the perceived added value / additional price obtainable in the energy market. This leads to a much reduced interest in commercialization of the concept for production of power plant fuels, unless there is drastic shift in fuel costs or government regulation.
Despite several attempts to generate new interest for the technology, and conduct further torrefaction pelleting and related combustion trials, the interest from the potential off-takers has diminished.
Andritz have found no energy companies or other potential off takers with willingness to pay a price covering the costs to generate further amounts of fuels for test combustion. Andritz have therefore been searching for other industries for which the torrefaction process and related technologies of the test-plant could be of potential interest, but so far without results.
