Kinki University and Osaka Gas Engineering Co., Ltd. have announced on March 3, 2014 that they began a trial to manufacture bio-coke using biomass derived from palm trees as the raw material in Malaysia.
Bio-coke is a solid fuel that is produced by pulverizing biomass materials and loading them into a reaction container, where heat and pressure are then applied to them. Whereas the conventional method required that the materials be heated to about 800°C for carbonization, with the manufacturing process for bio-coke developed by Kinki University bio-coke is produced through a new type of solidifying transformational technology under conditions of approximately 180° and 20MPa. This does not cause the materials to carbonize, and therefore there is almost no loss of volume from the conversion to fuel. A comparison of bio-coke against wood pellets and wood chips is shown in Table 1.
As shown in Table 2, since 2008 Kinki University has been engaged in demonstration trials and the development of production equipment for bio-coke in an ongoing manner. This initiative has received acknowledgment, and has won the FY2011 New Energy Award (Director-General Prize of Agency of Natural Resources and Energy) implemented by the New Energy Foundation, as well as the Ministry of the Environment's FY2012 Environment Minister's Award for Global Warming Prevention Activity.
This manufacturing trial in Malaysia came about as a result of the Joint Industry-Academia Implementation and Development Project being conducted by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). For the trial Osaka Gas Engineering Co., Ltd. will install a pilot plant in Malaysia and produce about 650 tons of bio-coke a year over a two-year period. Through the results of this they are aiming to install a commercial plant, mass produce bio-coke, and sell it to melting furnaces within Japan. (May 2014)
