Life-Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emission Impacts of Forest Residue Pre-processing with Wet Milling

The goal of this analysis was to evaluate the environmental impact of a Case Study that uses wet milling to preprocess logging residues before feeding to a catalytic fast pyrolysis conversion step. The results of the Case Study were compared to those of the status quo Base Case system where dry milling is used. The results reveal that wet milling achieved 65% lower GHG emissions per dry ton of conversion-ready feedstock than the conventional dry milling technology. This is mainly because wet milling greatly reduced the energy consumption for drying. In addition, wet milling also generates fewer fines, thus improving the throughput of conversion-ready feedstock
