Vega Biofuels files provisional patent application for G4 torrefaction machine

In Georgia, Vega Biofuels, Inc. has filed a Provisional Patent Application for its generation four (G4) torrefaction machine. Vega recently announced that its G/4 torrefaction machine increases the manufacturing capacity by approximately twenty five percent. Vega believes that portions of the process for the new machine are unique in the current marketplace and therefore, filed the Provisional Patent Application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office under the title “Method and Apparatus for Torrefying Biomass.” The application disclosure relates generally to wood used as a fuel source, and more particularly to systems, methods, and devices for torrefying biomass, such as wood or other agricultural biomass.
