SunCoal Biofuel
SunCoal® is a high quality biofuel, which can be used for co-firing in power plants or for the production of syngas and second-generation biomass-to-liquid biofuels.

The Advantages of SunCoal Biofuel
>
A homogenous biofuel is created from organic waste with heterogeneous characteristics
>
During refinement, impurities (sand, stones, glass, metal) and unwanted elements (sulfur, chlorine, nitrogen) are removed or reduced
>
Because of the high product quality achieved during refinement, organic waste can be used in all types of combustion plants as biofuel
>
The dry and hygienic SunCoal biofuel can be stored at length, and it’s high energy density allows it to be easily transported
>
Biofuel use is CO2-neutral, since the CO2 that is released when burned is the same amount that is absorbed during photosynthesis
>
The lower heating value of SunCoal is much higher than the used biomass
>
The production of SunCoal biofuel does not impact the production of foodstuffs, since only organic waste is used that would otherwise rot or be composted
