Torrefaction (verb - to torrefy) involves roasting, scorching or drying a substance to remove moisture and impurities.
Examples of use:
“According to Henk Hutting, chairman and co-founder of Futerra Fuels, torrefaction will play a critical role in the future of biomass for energy generation.”
“Here, project partners torrefy pine, oak and beech wood, as well as vineyard prunings and waste from olive oil production.”
I blog about editing, proofreading, and the English language.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Many of the phrasal verbs and idioms addressed in this blog were highlighted during an English conversation class I ran a few years ago. I’m grateful to those who attended this for helping me see my native language from a different perspective.
Most of the examples used are quotes from news articles. Click on the links (in yellow) to view the full article.
