Which Types of Biomass Can be Used?
Compared to other bio-energy technologies, the innovative SunCoal® CarboREN® technology offers a distinct advantage through the wide spectrum of biomass that can be used:
>
Almost all plant-based biomass can serve as a source of biocoal
>
Whole plants can be used, even lignite or wood-based materials that are not applicable to fermentation
>
Biomass with high water content can be used, for example grass cuttings, which is not applicable for direct burning
>
Impure biomass can be used in combination with the washing process
>
Organic waste from existing processes can be used, for example organic waste from palm oil mills, rice husks or energy crops such as elephant-grass or china-grass
>
Biomass used does not compete with the production of foodstuffs, since only biomass that would otherwise rot or be burned is used
