- Strength, storage, and combustion characteristics of densified lignocellulosic biomass produced via torrefaction and hydrothermal carbonization (2014, neutral): “The drying methods for biomass are highly energy consuming processes that require a significant financial load in the torrefaction and pelletization process, which makes the torrefaction of wet biomass like food waste impractical [13,14].”
- A study of bonding and failure mechanisms in fuel pellets from different biomass resources (2011, background): “Mechanical densification of biomass into fuel pellets has been shown to significantly reduce storage, and transportation costs [1].”
