Torrefaction Workshop: Market Implementation<br />

of a new solid biofuel <strong>and</strong> its midterm Prospects<br />

Day: Thursday, 21 June 2012<br />

Time: 13:30 - 17:30<br />

site: Hall Yellow 2<br />

access: With full <strong>Conference</strong> <strong>We</strong>ek registration, one Day<br />

admission (on registered day), students registration<br />

or Parallel events admission (for this specific event).<br />

The workshop will present <strong>and</strong> discuss the development of the<br />

torrefaction technology <strong>and</strong> its market implementation. It will provide<br />

an overview about the first steps towards an industrial scale<br />

fuel production <strong>and</strong> the connected on-going research activities to<br />

provide appropriate technologies, including suitable densification<br />

processes. A first presentation will outline the state of the art of the<br />

world-wide torrefaction developments, focusing on the different torrefaction<br />

concepts <strong>and</strong> their suitability for the conversion of various<br />

raw materials <strong>and</strong> end-use requirements (gasification, combustion<br />

or co-firing). The densification concepts <strong>and</strong> their adaptation for the<br />

new solid energy carrier play a key role here <strong>and</strong> will <strong>also</strong> be discussed.<br />

Experiences from the first commercially operated torrefaction<br />

plant in Europe will be integrated. Spanning these topics <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>also</strong> including further vital parts of the value chain, the EU-project<br />

SECTOR aims at advancing the market introduction of torrefied fuels.<br />

Furthermore, the workshop will show the parallel research goals<br />

<strong>and</strong> trends outside the <strong>European</strong> Union emphasizing on the developments<br />

<strong>and</strong> experiences from North America. The workshop is organized<br />

by DBFZ Deutsches <strong>Biomass</strong>eforschungszentrum gGmbH<br />

(coordinator of SECTOR) <strong>and</strong> IEA Bioenergy Task 32.<br />
