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.

If you burn biomass, are you burning in a square or round combustion chamber? New, old or retrofitting a square style burner, efficiency is on the top of your mind but the root problem for inefficiency is the actual shape of your combustion chamber. Large or small, our patented design is used to build what you need. A vertical cylinder combustion chamber and our heat transfer design is an advancement over current square/rectangular/box shaped fireboxes. Heat, power, cooling – a technology platform for building an efficient future.
