Torrefaction and co-torrefaction characterization of hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin as well as (2011, background): “For example, it has been reported that torrefaction has a high process efficiency compared to pelletisation and pyrolysis [20] and the technique of torrefaction could be used for wood gasification and syngas production [12].”
Global Wood Pellet Industry and Trade Study 2017 (2017, background): “Wood pellets and supply chain models use ‘default values’ to calculate generic supply chain costs for example to describe the economic and environmental advantages of biomass densification (Hoefnagels, R et al., 2011; Mobini et al., 2013; Sikkema et al., 2010; Svanberg et al., 2013; Uslu et al., 200”

Future Perspectives of Biomass Torrefaction: Review of the Current State-Of-The-Art and Research Development (2018, background): “The amount of H and O lost by the biomass during the torrefaction process is higher than the amount of C lost by it, which causes an increase in the heating value of the torrefied biomass [59].”
Isothermal torrefaction kinetics of hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin and xylan using thermogravimetr (2011, neutral): “In reviewing recent research of torrefaction, it can be found that most of the studies are focused on the weight loss, elemental analysis, grindability and heating value of biomass from torrefaction [3,11,20], the effect of torrefaction conditions on the physical and chemical properties of biomass [”
Modeling of biomass-to-energy supply chain operations: Applications, challenges and research directions (2014, background): “In the realm of location analysis for conversion facilities, Velazquez-Marti and Fernandez-Gonzalez (2010) proposed a hybrid GIS-linear programming approach to identify the optimal (least-cost) locations for a network of bioenergy conversion factories given a pre-determined set of feasible…”
A study on torrefaction of various biomass materials and its impact on lignocellulosic structure simulated by a thermogravimetry (2010, methodology): “To provide a comprehensive comparison of weight loss between the four biomass materials, two indicators of T50 and R50 [21,22], accounting for the temperature and intensity of weight loss are considered and plotted in Fig.”
Strength, storage, and combustion characteristics of densified lignocellulosic biomass produced via torrefaction and hydrothermal carbonization (2014, background): “In order to address the these limitations, lignocellulosic biomass has to be pre-processed or pre-treated before it is utilized as an efficient energy resource [3].”
