Biomass provides a sustainable source for iron oxide reduction and can replace coal for mitigating CO2 emissions. Torrefied biomass can act as a reducing agent in the iron oxide reduction to metallic iron which is important in chemical-looping combustion for lessening CO2 emissions. This study perfo...
