26 Conclusions Torrefied biomass pellets could become a very interesting i fuel for domestic and industrial i heating Combustion properties of torrefied pellets fired in Biolyt burner with no burner optimisation are very comparable to those of normal pellets Heating time is faster due to higher PCI Future work: more in depth and longer term combustion tests: Particulate sampling and size distribution Ash characteristics Different biomass sources Comparison of Life Cycle Balances 26
