Unit Process for Torrefied Wood Chips, 2016

This unit process dataset represents the production of 0.0436 oven-dried kg (1 MJ) of torrefied chips at torrefier (Biogreen, ETIA Group, Compiègne, France, and Norris Thermal Technologies, Tippecanoe, Indiana, USA) at Samoa, California. Additional details on the process can be found in Alanya-Rosenbaum et al (2018).

Intended Use
These data were developed as specific, average or generic unit process or LCI results data sets for use in accounting “Accounting” level LCAs (Situation A). A full inventory of environmental flows are included, thus this unit process can be used for a full range of LCIA impact categories, once the appropriate fate and transport considerations have been applied.
