[Terrapreta] 200 tons per day Dynamotive plant in Missouri

[Sean K. Barry]

Hi Erich,

I don't know for sure, but I doubt that the same fast pyrolysis reaction produces 34,000 gallons of bio-oil AND 15% yield (~30 tons) of charcoal from 200 ton of biomass per day.  It would be worth asking Dynamotive what the charcoal yield is.

Regards,

SKB

  "200 tons per day of wood by-products and residues from nearby sawmills into 34,000 gallons per day of bio-oil "

  I'm guessing the char would be about 30 tons / day?

  In Argentina, $50 million for 15.7 Megawatt Plant, a bit costly per Megawatt;

  "Each complex will be comprised of a 15.7 megawatt electricity generating station powered by the majority of the fuel output of two 200-ton-per-day modular plants producing bio-oil from wood waste and residues from nearby forests and other biomass residue. Excess bio-oil produced at these facilities will be sold into commercial and industrial fuel markets"
