The demand for solid biofuels: pellets, briquettes & torrefaction is rising as industries seek renewable energy solutions. Pelletization and briquetting improve biomass density, enhancing transportability and combustion efficiency. Advances in binders and densification techniques are reducing ash content and increasing calorific value. Torrefaction, a mild pyrolysis process, further upgrades biomass by enhancing its energy content and hydrophobic properties, making it comparable to coal. The development of hybrid torrefaction systems is improving scalability and reducing energy input. With growing applications in co-firing power plants and decentralized heating systems, solid biofuels are becoming integral to carbon-neutral energy strategies.
