Abstract

A method of treating biomass material, particularly plant - derived biomass material, to produce pyrolysis thereof, comprising subjecting the biomass material to radio frequency electromagnetic radiation, e.g. microwave radiation, while the material is being agitated, under suitable conditions to produce a desired degree of pyrolysis. The pyrolysis temperature is between about 70 °C and 175 °C (torrefaction). Char solid product obtained by the process, use thereof as feedstock for a coal -fired power station. The application also pertains to a compressed char product, which can be prepared by further processing the char solid product by mixing with a binding agent, such as starch binding agent, and compressing the mixture to form compressed product.
