Description
Dealing with climate change is one of the biggest challenges for energy producers and energy-intensive industries these days. Energy-related products and services are judged according to their ecological competitiveness. Bio-energy is an ecologically sustainable alternative to conventional power generation.

Their experience covers all types of biomass, such as forest residues, plants (rice chaff, bagasse, nut shells, cereal straw, rape seed and reed grass), as well as bio-gas obtained from various bio-degradable waste.
