Replacing fossil fuels

The torrefied biomass with TORSPYD®, also known BioCoal is a solid fuel high quality, ideal for many types of industrial applications, general or specific (barbecue , central heating, heat generation , co¬génération , power generation , etc …). Thanks to its high energy performance, BioCoal can replace, partially or totally, the most common solid fuels (coal , peat, wood pellets, etc. …). BioCoal is particularly a very effective alternative to coal in co- combustion or gasification applications. BioCoal is particularly suited to the requirements of the burners of heavy industries, such as thermal power plants, paper mills, cement plants or chauderies
