	Torrefaction of biomass, e.g., wood or grain, is a mild form of pyrolysis at temperatures typically between 200 and 320 °C. The calorific value of biomass can be greatly increased by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrefaction torrefaction]. Benefits are: higher energy density, more homogeneous composition, hydrophobic behavior, elimination of biological activity, improved grindability.
