Pretty cool stuff, but what's the costs to produce?  What do you do with PJ oil?

[LanceUT]

The cost....too much!   Although there seems to be a lot of progress.  The char, torrified and raw wood samples right now are being tested in Northern Utah for combustion capabilities with coal.   The oil - everybody seems to feel that the oil is what is going to pay for it all, and that is where the market is going to be..we'll see.   Either refine it and use it for bio-oil or possibly plastics.  Hoping if the tests are favorable to have a co-fire test with a coal plant possibly this fall.
