Turning Forest Residues Into Sustainable Biofuel

Addressing Market Needs

Woody Biomass

A Problem That Demands Attention

The Canadian forest sector transforms 30% only of the gathered biomass into profitable merchandise.

Greenhouse gas emissions from coal usage

A Sought-After Item Is Now Available

As nations worldwide mandate decreased greenhouse gas emissions from coal usage, a novel product has been created for implementation in coal-fired power and concrete facilities.

Sustainable Biofuel

An Unparalleled Worldwide Solution

Bio-coal can be tailored to suit customers' demands and inclinations without modifying their current infrastructure.

Corporate Information

Global Bio-Coal Energy (GBCE) has developed a sustainable biofuels industry by converting any waste woody biomass and hog fuel from forest operations into Bio-Coal and Biochar products.


Its first commercial-scale facility will be located in British Columbia (Canada).

After many years of research and product testing, the company chose the Wyssmont Turbo-Dryer/Torrefier, a State-of-the-Art Technology to serve power plants, cement and steel producers, and oil and gas companies for the emerging European, North American, and Asian markets.

The company has completed its life cycle roadmap from forest residue to end users.

Problem

Growing environmental awareness and governmental laws and regulations have led to a search for ways to reduce CO2 emissions.


Forest operations leave 70% of the harvested fiber in the ground to rot or burn, which represents fire hazardous to our forest.


Many coal-fired power plants face closure if they do not convert to clean energy.

Our Solution

Direct replacement for power plants, cement makers, and other coal users.

Bio-Coal

Bio-Coal is a clean, sustainable alternative to natural gas and coal and significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil coal.


It has the same BTU value (22-26 GJ/T) as thermal coal but is considered CO2 neutral. It can be stored, mixed, shipped, and fed to the boiler without changing the user’s fuel handling system.

The product can also be tailored to the client’s specifications. The company chose Wyssmont Torrefier to be integrated into our commercial plant.


The technology is simple, energy-efficient, and has a guaranteed performance. The company can generate additional saleable products during its operations process.

Bio-Char

Biochar is a direct replacement to Metallurgic coal for steel producer. It is also used in various wastewater treatment facilities such as coal mining production and oil & gas for their fracking operations and removal of selenium from contaminated water. It offers a number of benefits for soil health.

Many benefits are related to the extremely porous nature of biochar. This structure is found to be very effective at retaining both water and water-soluble nutrients. Biochar is a valuable asset for agriculture, it is richer in carbon to regenerate depleted soils, speed plant growth rates and make more efficient use of water resources.

Biocoal Solution

Technology

The Wyssmont TURBO-DRYER/TORRFIER® consists of a stack of rotating circular trays. The biomass is wiped onto the next lower tray where it is mixed and levelled. This is repeated on successive trays. Heated air or gas is circulated by internal fans.


Once the internal temperature of the system has been reached and the oxygen level is safe, biomass is introduced into the system. As the biomass dries, the water contained within the biomass vaporizes and maintains the steam atmosphere in the torrefier.

Recirculating the gases internally reduces emissions dramatically.


The entire system operates in the absence of oxygen at elevated temperatures to prevent oxidation of the biomass during the torrefaction process. The system can both dry and torrefy in a single chamber to produce Bio-Coal and Biochar.


The system is clean, simple, energy efficient, cost effective, scalable, commercial output, and guaranteed performance.
