Torrefaction is a mild thermal (200-300°C) pretreatment in an inert atmosphere used to upgrade the fuel properties of biomass. During torrefaction process, biomass is thermally decomposed at a lower rate which leads to an anhydrous weight loss (AWL) of biomass. Considering the properties of torrefie...
