Torrefied Biocoal Pellets
A direct, drop-in replacement for thermal coal — engineered from Canadian hemp biomass with near-zero net carbon emissions.
What Are Biocoal Pellets?
HempTech's torrefied biocoal pellets are produced by heating hemp biomass at high temperatures in a low-oxygen environment — a process called torrefaction. The result is a dense, hydrophobic, energy-rich pellet that behaves like coal in every way that matters to a power plant operator.
Built to Coal Standards
Compatible with existing coal handling and combustion infrastructure
Why Power Plants Choose HempTech
No Infrastructure Changes
Our pellets are compatible with existing coal handling, milling, and combustion equipment. Zero capital expenditure required.
Meet Carbon Targets
Switching to biocoal pellets dramatically reduces your plant's Scope 1 emissions — helping you meet regulatory and ESG commitments.
Reliable Canadian Supply
Our vertically integrated supply chain — from New Brunswick hemp farms to your facility — ensures consistent, year-round delivery.
Proven Torrefaction Process
Torrefaction is a well-established industrial process. Our pellets meet international biomass fuel standards.
Competitive Pricing
Hemp biomass is an agricultural by-product, keeping feedstock costs low and making our pellets cost-competitive with thermal coal.
Canadian Origin
Domestically sourced and processed — no long-haul shipping emissions, no supply chain geopolitical risk.
Same Performance. Dramatically Lower Emissions.
