This is good news indeed. I find this Middle Man (Daichu Corporation) has been in the biomass selling for 6 years by selling PKS to Japanese Power Producers. I believe BMSPF product is superior. The PKS specs are:

Specification
Moisture Content = < 18-25%
Calorific Value = ±4200 kcal/kg
Ash Content = < 5%
Fixed Carbon = 19.0 %
Packing = Loose Form

Torrefied Wood Pellets average 1-5% moisture, 1% ash and caloric value of 20-24 GJ per ton. The pellets contain more caloric value than PKS. PKS has about 1 million calories per pound and torrefied pellets have around 2.6 million calories per pound

When torrefied, the energy density of the material increases to roughly 10,500 btu/lb, it no longer contains the mix of volatiles, it does not absorb water (hydrophobic), it is equally easy to grind as carbon coal and is very easy to transport, and the material only loses about 15% of its calorific value while being 96% thermally efficient to produce.
