Turning biomass into value | Securing the future An age-old fuel put to new use Energy generated from biomass Providing a future-proof source of electricity and contributing to lower CO₂ emissions, power produced from biomass is increasingly economically viable. The interests of operators and investors, on the one hand, and those of utilities and grids, on the other, are becoming more closely aligned. This is because ensuring a stable power supply as well as the financial success of the power plant are common goals. Understanding the issues Constant striving toward clean and...

Centered on biomass An integral part of the industry Green power Following such initiatives as the Paris climate accord, biomass energy for both industry and electricity providers is a reliable - and sustainable - source of baseload power. It also helps in meeting environmental targets, absorbing more CO2 than it emits, and efficient equipment used in power generation leads to fewer emissions at the plant site. Biomass is a relatively cheap base load and, depending on the local regulations, surplus electricity produced from it can be fed back to the grid, making it even more economically...
