Benefits Improved storage properties
Higher energy density possible
Reduced water uptake
Reduced biological decay
Improved grindability Can use same grinders as for coal
Lower energy consumption during grinding
Smaller particles after grinding
Co-combustion with pulverized coal (?)

Metso supplies a bio-oil production plant to
Fortum Joensuu power plant in Finland
Demonstration plant will produce bio-oil
from forest residue
• Bio-oil capacity 30 MW
• Annual production 50 000 t, 210 GWh
• Forest residue usage 225 000 solid-m3/year

Bio-oil characteristics
Heating value (LHV) 13-18 MJ/kg,
i.e. about half of LHV of heavy fuel
oil
Water content 20-35 weight-%
Viscosity between that of light and
heavy fuel oil
Acidic, pH 2-3
Density about 1.2 kg/l
Immiscible with mineral oils
Can be used instead of heavy fuel
oil
In the future also as raw material for
chemical industry or for biodiesel
production
