Power Grade Charcoal

                          

• Power Grade Charcoal involves large-scale production of charcoal use as sustainable fuel in coal-fired power plants. 
• To comply with power sector quality standards and price levels of charcoal  have to be decreased drastically which will be achieved by developing an innovative process design, with optimized  carbonization.
• Main project activities include: 1) determining charcoal specifications; 2)  pilot scale carbonization experiments, including process modeling and conceptual design; 3) research on feedstock drying & charcoal densification 4) full-scale co-firing experiments & 5) engineering of a large-scale carbonization retort and plant.
