To all,
Hydrogy LLC (Dr. Lixiong Li), Inova Energy LLC, in concert with Gulf Coast
State College have begun the testing phase of a DOE SBIR grant that was
initiated in July. Part of our proposal was the production of biocoal as
a fossil coal surrogate and biochar as a byproduct. As we approach the
end of phase I and prepare our phase II proposal, we would like to
interview fossil coal users and survey their opinions regarding the solid
fuel marketplace and the potential for biocoal as a fossil coal
alternative. Any suggestions or guidance from bioenergylists members
would be much appreciated. We are most interested in being directed to
fossil coal users (particularly, grid-connected facilities) so that we may
survey participants in our target market. However, we welcome comments
from everyone, including those involved with biochar. Our most pertinent
questions are listed below:
• Do the advantages/benefits of biocoal fulfill the critical needs of a
fossil coal user?
• Would a fossil coal user pay a higher price point in order to gain the
advantages/benefits of biocoal?
• What advantage/benefit of biocoal has the greatest appeal to a fossil
coal user?
• What disadvantage/challenge of biocoal presents the greatest hurdle to
the acceptance of biocoal as a fossil coal alternative?
