[Terrapreta] advanced biomass pyrolysis

[Kelpie Wilson]

Here is an interesting report of a biomass project using pyrolysis 
and char to formulate different fuels:

Dynamotive Launches Higher Energy Content Renewable Biofuel
Vancouver, British Columbia [RenewableEnergyAccess.com]

Dynamotive Energy Systems Corp. introduced Intermediate BioOil, which 
it says is a higher energy grade of BioOil aimed as an alternative 
fuel for the intermediate and heavy fuel oil markets and as a higher 
energy source for production of synfuels from biomass.

"Dynamotive's BioOil and Intermediate BioOil can be used in burners, 
furnaces, and the BioOil also in gas turbines. By varying the carbon 
content, customers requiring higher thermal outputs can now have a 
renewable fuel choice to meet their needs and reduce costs."

-- Andrew Kingston, Dynamotive, president and CEO
The fuel was developed at Dynamotive's West Lorne facility and has 
undergone combustion, emission and certification tests throughout 2006.

Intermediate BioOil's heat output averages 14% higher than the 
company's standard BioOil. Developed to compete functionally and on 
price-performance with commonly used industrial fuels such as No. 2 
and No. 6 heating oil, it is a blend of 80% BioOil and 20% char 
ground to under 8 microns. Both BioOil and char are produced 
simultaneously during Dynamotive's proprietary fast-pyrolysis 
process, which creates a usable source of energy from cellulosic biomass.

Intermediate BioOil produced at West Lorne recently received EcoLogo 
certification, having met stringent environmental criteria for 
industrial fuels as measured by Environment Canada's Environmental 
Choice Program.

Dynamotive President and CEO Andrew Kingston stated, "Dynamotive's 
BioOil and Intermediate BioOil can be used in burners, furnaces, and 
the BioOil also in gas turbines. By varying the carbon content, 
customers requiring higher thermal outputs can now have a renewable 
fuel choice to meet their needs and reduce costs."

Dynamotive disclosed that this fuel grade can be produced at its new 
Guelph, Ontario, plant and the company will seek certification for 
fuel from this plant once it is in operation. Construction is 
expected by spring. The new 200-ton-per-day plant, located about 40 
miles west of Toronto, is the company's second BioOil plant in the province.
