Torrefaction is a thermochemical treatment applied to upgrade lignocellulosic biomass into a solid bioenergy carrier (torrefied biomass) with superior properties in terms of logistics (handling, transport, and storage) and end use (combustion, [[gasification]], and chemical processing). The word "torrefaction" is derived from the French verb ''torrefier'', which means roasting (as in the roasting of coffee beans). As in most thermochemical treatments, torrefaction results in a combination of products, namely, solid torrefied biomass, condensable liquids, and permanent gases. | <onlyinclude>'''Torrefaction''' is a thermochemical treatment applied to upgrade lignocellulosic biomass into a solid bioenergy carrier (torrefied biomass) with superior properties in terms of logistics (handling, transport, and storage) and end use (combustion, [[gasification]], and chemical processing).</onlyinclude> The word "torrefaction" is derived from the French verb ''torrefier'', which means roasting (as in the roasting of coffee beans).
