Torrgreen is a mobile conversion technology, turning crop residues and other problematic feedstocks into a valuable commodity: Torrpellets.
Torrpellets are the basic feedstock for production of biofuels, green chemical products and renewable power. Our patented system allows for energy densification up to 40 times compared to the original feedstock, making very efficient transport with existing infrastructure feasible.
We are committed to solving ever-increasing problems with large scale food production and climate change, in a very realistic and scalable way. Torrgreen creates new green revenue streams for farmers and food producers worldwide, while improving the local environment and society.
Torrpower is a modular, decentralized green power technology, also developed by the Torrgreen team. Torrpellets are converted into green energy at the customer's location. Find out more.
Sizable impact with standardized and mobile technology.
Climate Watch: "Crop residue burning emits approximately the same amount of Greenhouse Gas emissions as all shipping and aviation combined".
With Torrgreen we can turn these problems into solutions -transforming crop residues, invasive plants, and storm debris into economic value. Creating a commodity for green chemicals. Producing biofuels for heavy polluting ships and airplanes. Generating local green heat and power and providing a biobattery to complement wind and solar to provide 24/7 renewable energy. And in the process creating many new jobs. All in a circular and sustainable way.
Crop residues
Crop residues like straws and husks represent an enormous feedstock source, which can be utilized for a greener planet.
Fruit production residues
Biproducts from fruit production are excellent feedstocks for conversion into Torrpellets. We offer direct bottom line income and solve a waste problem!
Grasses
Grasses and energy crops like Miscanthus represent a way to enhance the soil on degraded land and render positive economic and environmental impact.
Tops and leaves from forestry
A large volume of woody biomass is left in productions forests after harvesting of dimensional timber. This represents a risk for fires, but also an opportunity for additional income streams.
Invasives
Invasive vegetation jeopardizes biodiversity, affects water availability, and damages the soil, causing significant damage to the local ecosystem. Torrgreen can solve this in an economic way!
Recycled wood
The volume of recycled wood is growing as result of increased population and more natural disasters. The required cleanups generate a good feedstock for circular solutions with Torrgreen.
Torrgreen is the first high-capacity mobile torrefaction system in the world, and it is very scalable.
Our systems are operated at the source of the feedstock, as it allows for a large feedstock flexibility, where other technologies mainly process only wood-based streams.
Torrpellets have cost efficient transport as it uses easy, existing logistics.
For the buyers of torrefied material, Torrgreen provides a reliable upstream position in the fast-growing market for renewable energy and biorefinery solutions.
Torrgreen Systems are mobile and are operated at the source of the feedstock. They can be moved around.
In addition, our technology allows for a wide feedstock variability.
This is therefore a solution that is flexible with respect to location, type of feedstock and seasonality. Minimizing operating costs and unlocking the problematic and low-cost feedstocks. For the benefit of feedstock owners, society and the planet.
The patented Torrgreen technology is based on a fixed bed reactor. This means many types of feedstocks of a wide range of shape and size, including all woody- and most herbaceous biomasses and pits and shells of fruits can be converted. This is a great advantage over most other torrefaction technologies, especially in combination with the mobility of the Torrgreen systems.
Torrgreen Systems produce 4,000 to 6,000 ton/annum of Torrpellets, depending on the running hours per day and types of feedstock.
This enables an attractive business case and ROI.
Torrgreen systems are designed for operation in the field, also at remote locations. This implies it robustness and reliability. We use largely common and widely available components, allowing for easy and low-cost operation and maintenance. Also, the power consumption is kept very low, up to 5 times lower compared to other torrefactions technologies. Our systems can operate off grid, making maximum use of renewable sources for power and heat requirements for the conversion process.
The 20’ containerized Torrgreen Systems are produced in production lines. Our design is standardized a much as possible, with high and consistent quality and reliability as result. Yet, Torrgreen is modular and multiple Torrgreen containers can be combined in one Torrpellets production location, sharing pre-treatment and storage facilities. So very scalable!
The green and cheaper alternative to diesel generators. Based on agri residues.
Torrpower produces decentralized energy in container format for off-grid customers. Reliable, affordable, and green. Torrpower’s modular systems have a power output of 200 to 1000 kWe and up to 2000 kWth of high-quality heat. Within this range, approximately 80% of the customers on the decentralized energy market can be served.
Production capacity which can quickly and easily be adapted to the demand for base and peak load. So widely applicable and very scalable, that offers an ideal complement to large-scale solar and wind installations, providing renewable energy through the same grid connection when they are not producing power.
Torrpower offers a cheaper and environmentally friendly alternative to diesel generators. Decentralized energy generation anywhere in the world, also for temporary demand. Suitable for purchase as well as for rental.
Electricity and heat available anytime and anywhere.
The high efficiency and low investment requirement results in substantially lower costs than for diesel generators.
Use of regional residual and waste flows for carbon neutral energy generation.
Torrpower capacity can be perfectly matched to local demand.
How Torrgreen contributes to a better world
Torrgreen is a triple bottom line enterprise. We will produce major benefits for our investors, employees, and the surrounding community and environment. By developing decentralized green energy technologies needed to help stop the rise in global warming. Today’s biowaste burning already accounts for 3% of GHG emissions…
There are 3 primary pillars to Torrgreen’s ESG or CSR approach:
Torrgreen's mission is to create a more sustainable planet with our unique, modular technology. In an economic and socially beneficial way.
Our strategy is to work with local partners in various regions of the world where we scale the number of Torrgreen systems in operation as fast as realistically possible.
We run our R&D activities in the Netherlands and India with support of EFRO.
For market development, we are in the process of founding regional JV's around the world. First to demo and then scale Torrgreen and Torrpower.
