Abstract
Forest biomass is an attractive alternative resource to fossil ones, renewable and without environmental impacts as long as forest residues are considered. Collecting and transforming forestry residues into value-added products is a challenge as they are usually scattered over a large area. To reduce the economic and environmental cost of forestry residues transformation, in-situ energy densification is a powerful solution. To achieve efficient energy densification of forestry residues and transformation for industrial use, a new pyrolysis unit designed by the University of Western Ontario is used to produce low water content pyrolysis oil and high-quality biochar. Bio-oil with 8 %wt water content is produced. Energy density of the bio-oil is compared to other densification methods, showing the interest of pyrolysis to increase the energy density of biomass. High quality and free of sand biochar is also produced. Various properties of the bio-oil and biochar are explored to determine its potential for various industrial applications in the scope of a major biorefinery project in La Tuque, Québec.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
