Biomass-fired heat and power plants for industrial applications
Achieve efficient thermal and electrical energy production by harnessing low-grade wood waste in a compact, high-performance biomass-fired system with integrated carbon capture technology. Perfect for industries seeking to reduce emissions and operational costs while maximizing energy sustainability.
Converts Biomass into Heat, Power, and BioCO2
The Biomass-fired Heat and Power Plants from HoSt Group are engineered to transform low-grade wood waste into reliable heat, power, and bioCO2. Designed with a high-pressure water tube boiler and multistage turbine, these plants achieve over 25% electrical efficiency. Ideal for applications in sawmills, timber industries, and district heating, the units support continuous operation and high fuel flexibility, accommodating wood chips, sawdust, and bark with moisture contents of 10% to 60%. Each plant integrates seamlessly into production lines with its modular design and compact footprint, allowing for rapid on-site assembly. A built-in carbon capture feature enables the production of food-grade liquid CO2, enhancing sustainability in greenhouse environments. With 8,400+ annual running hours and over 96% availability, these installations minimize operational downtime. The CHP design includes advanced flue gas cleaning and optimal combustion control, ensuring industry-leading low emissions.
