Torrefied Biomass Pellets (TBP) are a promising alternative fuel to coal for reducing CO2 emissions. In this study, the combustion characteristics of TBP were evaluated by measuring the volatile matter (VM) content and the combustion rate constant of char using a Drop Tube Furnace (DTF) and an ash balance method. The results showed that the TBP contains approximately 90 wt% volatile matter, enabling rapid ignition and combustion. The remaining fraction primarily consists of char, and the combustion rate constant of char in the TBP was found to be equal to or greater than that of subbituminous coal.
