Torrefaction systems

ANDRITZ offers complete torrefaction solutions that transform woody biomass and agricultural residues into high-quality, carbon-neutral biofuels. With a focus on sustainability and reduced CO₂ emissions, torrefaction increases energy density, improves storability, and the product produced can seamlessly replace coal in existing infrastructure. Torrefaction solutions from ANDRITZ include all core processes from our existing technology portfolio.

Advanced torrefied biofuels

The demand for sustainable and secure energy resources is at an all-time high. Woody biomass is a well-established green energy source, and torrefaction enhances its versatility for use in coal-fired power plants, as well as in the cement and steel industries. Agricultural residues, another green energy source, often face limitations due to their low energy density. Torrefaction addresses this issue by transforming these low-cost residues, making them a valuable part of our future sustainable energy mix.
