Potential of Mild Torrefaction for Upgrading the Wood Energy Value of Different Eucalyptus Species

Potential of Mild Torrefaction for Upgrading the Wood Energy Value of Different Eucalyptus Species

Torrefaction is a promising pre-treatment for improving the fuel quality of biomass. This study examined the effect of a mild torrefaction (from 160 to 230 °C) on the heating value, elemental composition, and thermogravimetric analysis of wood from eight Eucalyptus species (E. botryoides Sm....
