Creator and developer of biomass thermal conversion technology since 2011.

BioProducts offers sustainable new products and process solutions to process agricultural biomass in an environmentally conscious and economically advantageous manner. The companies technologies, licensed from University of Louisville, are used to produce from biomass value-added products such as, xylose (a low calorie natural sugar) (Trade name: XuCrose); sustainable solid carbon fuel (BioCoal) (trade name: HemiFuel); high surface area activated carbon (trade name: HemiCarbon); biogas; and natural fiber composites. The company won the Distillers Grains Reverse Pitch competition (Inaugural Bourbon Pitch Contest) organized by the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet, the Cabinet for Economic Development – KY Innovation Office, Innovation Incubated, Kentucky Distillers' Association, and Distillers Grains Technology Council. The company operates a demonstration plant in Louisville, KY to process distillery stillage from local distilleries.

HM3 Energy licenses its proprietary biocoal technology. Its cost effective and energy efficient torrefaction and densification technologies produce biocoal for the export market that is cheaper than white wood pellets at the coal burner tip. HM3’s energy dense briquettes, produced from forest waste, can be used in both coal-fired and biomass-fired boilers. HM3 tested its technology in a demo plant on western juniper and Ponderosa pine forest residues, as well as Douglas fir sawmill residues. The biocoal briquettes performed well in test burns at Western Research Institute. Energy content is 22.5 GJ/Metric Ton; 10,261 Btu/lb; Hardgrove grindability index comparable to Powder River Basin coal.

Heating appliance users are wanting a safer, easier to use and more efficient way to produce heat. Round for a Reason llc has a combustion chamber and heat transfer design that can be applied for many appliances and even larger applications. Part of the design, the baffles/restrictor plates force longer residence time of the fuel and make the path almost impossible for flames to get into the flue. Also, multiple stoves/applications indoor or outdoor, pellet, corn, cord wood or other biomass fuels. Learn more at dakotastove.com.
