transferring timber waste to Bio Coal… 
factsVega Biofuels, Inc. is in the process of building a manufacturing plant that when finished will manufacture biocoal from timber waste using unique technology called torrefaction. Torrefaction is the treatment of biomass at high temperatures (475°F – 575°F) under low oxygen conditions.
The plant will convert timber waste into thermally treated biomass powder that is then turned into briquettes known as “bio-coal” for shipment to the end user. Existing coal-fired power plants can utilize the bio-coal without making any changes to their current infrastructure.
