Abstract
Charcoal-based slurries with water or oil provide an alternative liquid fuel that has some advantages over bio-oil. The characteristics of slurries are described and recent research and development activities on production and testing of slurries are reviewed. Several char–water slurry and ternary manufacturing processes are described and techno-economically evaluated, concluding that there are currently limited opportunities for implementation, but research and developmen in well defined areas could improve the economic viability of these products.
