Pelletizer
Michelle Farhat and Jonathan Pruitt, graduate students at the University of Michigan's School for Environment and Sustainability, fix a pelletizer they've been using to homogenize biomass such as coffee husks, bamboo and inga tree clippings. They will then use the pellets to feed a gasifier that will turn them into singas to be used in a hybrid microgrid in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico. The byproduct of the process, called biochar, would be used to enhance coffee farms' soil. Photo credit: Levi Stroud.
