Periodica Polytechnica Chemical Engineering, 2023 There is an urgent need for replacement of fossil fuels worldwide. Raw biomass has a low energy density, contains too much moisture, can rot, and it is hygroscopic. This paper presents a very prominent thermal technology that could overcome mentioned deficiencies of raw biomass. This technology is known as torrefaction.
