One of the challenges to the use of biomass in heat applications is to find a suitable technology to take quick and accurate moisture content (MC) measurements of comminuted forest biomass. In this study, we tested three difference technologies (electric, nuclear and infrared) and five different tools. Of the three technologies tested, electric is the most promising. It is usually inexpensive (<$1000), requires small-sized samples (10 L), is fast to read (<1 minute) and is relatively accurate with more than 70% of measurements within 5% MC of the oven-dried method.
