BIOMASS
RENEWABLE RESOURCE
STRATEGIC GROWTH BUSINESS

CREATING VALUE FROM RENEWABLE BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES.

AT Corporation is developing Biomass as a broader renewable-resource platform connecting suitable biological feedstocks with processing, energy applications, logistics and commodity markets.

The business is structured around resource suitability, supply consistency, processing requirements and commercial demand.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

ONE RESOURCE CATEGORY. MULTIPLE VALUE PATHWAYS.

Biomass represents a broad renewable-resource category capable of supporting multiple energy and industrial applications depending on feedstock characteristics and processing requirements.

AT Corporation’s Biomass strategy focuses on identifying commercially relevant resource streams that can be developed into appropriate products and connected with market demand.

RESOURCE SOURCES

VALUE CAN BEGIN WITH WHAT THE RESOURCE PRODUCES — AND WHAT IT LEAVES BEHIND.

01

WOOD & FORESTRY RESIDUE

  • Wood Residue
  • Wood Chips
  • Sawmill Residue
  • Forestry Residue
  • Branches / Offcuts
02

AGRICULTURAL RESIDUE

  • Crop Residue
  • Processing Residue
  • Fiber Residue
  • Other verified agricultural biomass
03

COCONUT BIOMASS

  • Coconut Shell
  • Coconut Husk
  • Coconut Fiber Residue
  • Processing Residue
04

PALM BIOMASS

  • Palm Kernel Shell
  • Empty Fruit Bunch
  • Fiber
  • Other approved palm residue
05

KENAF BIOMASS

  • Stem Residue
  • Fiber Processing Residue
  • Other technically appropriate material
06

OTHER APPROVED BIOMASS

  • Other verified biomass feedstocks, where appropriate

RESOURCE EVALUATION

NOT ALL BIOMASS HAS THE SAME VALUE.

01

AVAILABILITY

Evaluate whether feedstock can be sourced consistently at commercially relevant scale.

02

MOISTURE

Moisture content influences drying requirements, handling and processing efficiency.

03

ENERGY CONTENT

Energy characteristics determine suitability for different fuel and industrial applications.

04

ASH

Ash quantity and composition can influence combustion performance, equipment requirements and product suitability.

05

BULK DENSITY

Bulk density affects transportation, storage and handling economics.

06

LOGISTICS

Resource value must be assessed together with collection, transport and storage requirements.

THE PROCESS DEPENDS ON THE PRODUCT.

MINIMAL PROCESSING

  • Drying
  • Sorting
  • Size Reduction

DENSIFICATION

  • Briquetting
  • Pelletizing

THERMAL PROCESSING

  • Carbonization
  • Torrefaction
  • Pyrolysis

Potential future processing

VALUE DENSITY

IMPROVE THE PRODUCT BEFORE MOVING IT.

Drying, size reduction and densification can improve handling and logistics characteristics where the additional processing cost is commercially justified.
