VIASPACE teams with PCS Biofuels to convert Giant King Grass into drop-in coal replacement

August 11, 2015 |

In California, VIASPACE announced that PCS Biofuels Inc. of Vancouver, Canada has converted Giant King Grass into a high-energy, carbon neutral, drop-in replacement for coal using its patented Polymer Carbon Solid (PCS) thermal catalytic process. The resulting PCS Giant King Grass biofuel has the same energy density as metallurgical coal, and is environmentally friendly as it burns cleanly without generating sulfur, mercury or other emissions found in coal. PCS solid biofuel is hydrophobic and can be stored outdoors like coal and pulverized in the same machines as coal. The PCS solid biofuel process is a hydrothermal process that uses hot water under pressure as the solvent, and a patented catalyst.
