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 power plants as biofuel
>
The dry and hygienic SunCoal biofuel can be stored at length, and its high energy density allows it to be easily transported
>
The energy 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 biofuel is much higher than that of the used green waste
>
The production of SunCoal biofuel does not impact the production of foodstuffs, since only green waste is used which would otherwise rot or be composted
