## Resource

In this episode of the Biomass Beat podcast, Argus’ senior reporter Hannah Adler speaks with Michael Wild, president of the International Biomass Torrefaction and Carbonisation Council (IBTC) to unpack what’s really shaping the next phase of torrefied biomass and take a developer-focused look at where the industry stands, and where it’s heading next. Listeners can expect to hear: How the torrefied pellets sector is mirroring and diverging from the early wood pellet industry learning curve Why feedstock security and logistics, rather than the technology itself, is the biggest concern for developing plants. How shifting demand in Europe could mean for pellet producers and potential retrofits into torrefaction What still needs to happen on policy, offtake agreements, and standards for the industry to scale.
