1 Canada s New Bio-Oil & Bio-Char Company & Feeding Technology Description 1

2 The depletion of fossil fuel reserves ( oil prices) Global demand for renewable fuels and green chemicals Demand for increasing utilization of agricultural and industrial by-products/wastes (process intensification) Reduce GHG Emissions Job creation 2

3 Selfsufficient in energy Converts crops, waste & other Biomass sources into Bio-Oil through a process called Fast Pyrolysis. No competition with food Compact, mobile, easy to operate: No need to transport biomass Reduces chemical fertilizers 3

4 The Problem: Converting Biomass into alternative fuel is limited by transportation costs/seasonality. Labour costs must also be minimized. The Solution: Mobile Pyrolysis, the Agri-Therm MPS200 4

5 Hydroxyaceto ne Levoglucosan CELLULOSE Formic Acid Hydroxyacetaldehyde Glyoxa l Acetic Methyl Glyoxal 5

6 Slow pyrolysis: only char

12 Conclusions N2 Pulse N2 continuous 12

13 Conclusions Bio-oil vapours and permanent gases leave the reactor toward condensers. 4) An hot filter traps the small fraction of fine particles elutriated from the bed, avoiding contamination of the bio-oil. 3) The char stays in the bed. 1) The biomass is injected into the bed. 2) It mixes with the hot sand and reacts. N2 or Recycled pyrolysis permanent gases for Fluidization

14 Mobile P yrolysis System: Brings the Plant to the source (10 tonnes biomass/day) Converts Biomass to Bio-Gas, Bio-Oil and Bio-Char. Bio-Oil: ~30 MJ/kg, or 70% energy content of oil Bio-Char: Carbon Sequestration and Soil Amendment 1 tonne Bio-Char sequesters 3 tonnes of CO 2 14

15 Opportunities Wine Grape Corn Sugarcane Forest Resources Wine Bio ethanol Sugarcane Juice Pulp and Paper Grape Skins and Seeds 12.2 million tonnes worldwide Dried Distiller s Grains 35 million tonnes in North America Sugarcane Bagasse 500 million tonnes worldwide Forestry Residue 280 million tonnes worldwide 15
