Name of the Project
Torrefied pellet plant.

Location
Vägari, Estonia.

Client
Baltania OÜ.

Project Description
The project entails the construction of a 157 000 t/y commercial, industrial-scale torrefied pellet plant using the latest state-of-the-art technology.

The pellets will be made of sustainable biomass sourced from forestry wastes and by-products of wood processing industry.

Torrefaction is a thermochemical process applied to biomass which transforms it into a homogeneous fuel (biocoal) with remarkably superior handling, energy density, water resistance and grindability properties that make it comparable with fossil coal and a sustainable replacement of fossil coal in power generation plants and other processes.

Duration
The pellet plant is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2020.
