Topell Energy: an integrated torrefaction technology provider

Figure A below shows a simple representation of the biomass-to-energy value chain. Topell Energy is an integrated technology provider to torrefaction plants. The torrefaction plant makes up for one important process step, torrefaction, in the production of torrefied biomass. Other important process steps are the preparation of biomass (including sizing and cleaning) before torrefaction takes place, and compacting (e.g. pelleting) after the biomass has been torrefied.
