BACKGROUND
[0001] The present invention relates generally to fuels derived from processed biomass, and more particularly to fuels that are a colloidal dispersion of processed heat treated charred biomass that can be used as substitutes for, or additives to, fluid bio-oil based fuels, and fluid petrochemical fuels.
[0002] It is widely recognized that the majority of energy produced throughout the industrialized world is based on the consumption of petroleum based liquid fuels. Such fuels have a high energy density, are relatively easy to transport and store, and can be used in a wide variety of engines and heaters. However, as is common knowledge, the in-ground stores of petroleum based products are rapidly declining, and experts predict that new discoveries are not occurring frequently enough to offset the rapid drawdown of currently known reserves. In the parlance of today, these resources are considered to be non-renewable. Furthermore, use of these non-renewable resources are believe...
