Presenting sustainable technical solutions where residues power the process and create new cash flow streams
Is your industry in transformation or are you looking for new growth in biofuels? What if there was a cost-effective way to produce sustainable biofuels that can be more seamlessly integrated into the current petroleum based infrastructure and directly replace fossil fuels.
Households, industry, agriculture and forestry all produce large amounts of organic waste. In the transition to a carbon free society this waste has become a valuable energy resource. The key challenge to utilizing these valuable resources is to develop a platform that allows different biomass input to be used in the same plant and if necessary to be able to supplement with coal or other fossil fuels.
Fluidized bed technology is a platform that allows cost-efficient and flexible production of energy products and biofuels. Fluidized bed technologies are applied in combustion, gasification and pyrolysis. By integrating cutting edge fluidized bed technologies to your existing systems you can maximize the synergies available. Sustainability can boost a business.
