River Basin Energy plans large-scale biocoal plant

In the US, River Basin Energy is developing a commercial-scale biocoal production plant, which it expects to break ground on later this year.

When the facility comes online in 2012 it will produce more than 100,000 tonnes a year of biocoal.

River Basin Energy already owns a demo-scale biocoal plant in Laramie, Wyoming. This partially commercial-scale facility has the capacity to manufacture 300kg/h of biocoal.
