Japan-based Renova Inc. on Sept. 30 announced its 49.9 megawatt (MW) Karatsu Biomass Power Plant commenced operations on Sept. 27. The facility is fueled with wood pellets and palm kernel shells (PKS).
Biochar as a fuel replacement was one of many topics discussed at the North American Biochar Conference in Minneapolis.
The recently completed installation of a pellet mill and innovative drying system is empowering Georgian family-owned lumber company Conner Holdings to expand its potential.

U.S. manufacturers produced approximately 900,000 tons of densified biomass fuels in May, according to the latest edition of the U.S. IEA’s Monthly Densified Biomass Fuels Report. Sales of densified biomass fuel reached 850,000 tons during the month.
