BioTrainValue

Biomass torrefaction is used to produce high-level solid biofuels. The EU-funded BioTrainValue project will develop and test new technologies and equipment for biomass torrefaction with the application of superheated steam for high-value innovative bio-based products at the European scale. The project will provide new methodologies and experimental data for innovative small-scale reactors and agro-energy technology for treated solid biofuels with increased calorific value, reduced biodegradability, increased bulk and energy density, and cheaper transport and storage. BioTrainValue will also result in direct bio-products, such as biofuels, fertilisers with better characteristics and biocarbon as an additive to fertilizers for agriculture and activated carbon for the chemical and energy industries.
