  16. What are Torrefied Pellets? Unlike commonly recognized “white” pellets, torrefied pellets are black. Through a process called torrefacation, the properties of the wood are changed using microwave technology. This process produces a product that burns cleaner and has the same BTU output as coal or 25% more than white pellets. The pellets are also compatible with existing equipment.
