<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). 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).
