In biomass pyrolysis, the energy story begins with its moisture content. Last week, we discussed how “just dry it more” isn’t a magic bullet for biomass pyrolysis. Many of you shared valuable insights on optimising moisture content (MC), thanks for that. This week, let’s peel back a layer into one aspect of why MC is […]

“Just dry it more” isn’t the magic solution everyone thinks it is for biomass pyrolysis. I was reading through some recent research on biomass thermal process optimisation, and it reminded me of a conversation I had last week. They were frustrated because their biochar yields were inconsistent, and their first instinct was to “just dry

When it comes to pyrolysis, feedstock isn’t just an input; it’s a critical process parameter. I’ve just finished watching Christian Wurzer‘s Green Carbon webinar with Brodie Biomass, what a great presentation! Alex Brodie was incredibly honest and forthcoming with information about their process, outputs, and the challenges they faced. I highly recommend checking it out,
