| Abstract | The European (FP7) project SECTOR, aiming at the further development and market introduction of torrefaction-based technologies for the production of solid bioenergy carriers has reached its final period. In torrefaction, biomass is heated up in the absence of oxygen to a temperature ranging between 250°C and 320°C. By combining torrefaction with pelleting or briquetting, biomass materials can be converted into high-energydensity bioenergy carriers with improved behaviour in (long-distance) transport, handling and storage. Torrefaction also creates superior properties for biomass in many major end-use applications. The process has the potential to provide a significant contribution to an enlarged raw material portfolio for sustainable biomass fuel production inside Europe by including both agricultural and forestry biomass (residues). The SECTOR project – with more than 20 partners from industry and science – is expected to shorten the time to market for torrefaction technology through extensive pilot and demo scale torrefaction as well as densification trials. The downstream value chain is elaborately assessed through logistics and end-use testing of the torrefied biomass, in combination with supporting small-scale experimentation and analysis. The technical work is accompanied by safety assessments, development of standards (both for dedicated analysis methods and torrefied products), techno-economic assessment of major biomass-to-end-use value chains and a complete sustainability assessment. |
