Biomass
Greenhouse gas emission limits are driving more integration of renewable energy sources — including biomass — to reduce the operation of coal-fired power plants and industrial boilers. These sustainable fuel options could include wood chips, pellets, torrefied biomass and pyrolysis processed biomass; most applications utilize wood chips or localized agricultural fuels requiring minimal processing.
Why Biomass Matters
Sustainable energy strategies often include biomass or biomass co-firing operations. Supporting systems can be relatively extensive; emissions controls and fly ash collection generally must be incorporated. Our deep experience in the power industry and with industrial boilers means we have the insights to help you make biomass a part of your successful renewable energy strategy.
