[biofuel] Low temperature carbonization

2002-12-12 Thread Marc de Piolenc
I don't see why it could not compete with the LS coal, because is has even less sulfur that the coal does. As air restrictions get tighter and tighter even LS coal is going to become less cost effective. If restrictions get that tight, pretreating the coal will probably still be cheaper than

I've been following the current hooraw about low-temperature carbonization with some confusion. I can't quite tell what the commotion is about. This is not new technology - it was used in primitive form to make retort gas for industrial and domestic use from the late 19th century through (in some
