Biomass-fired heat and power plants for industrial applications
In industries where reducing energy costs and meeting environmental regulations are crucial, traditional fossil fuel-based power generation methods struggle to keep up. Sawmills, the timber industry, and food & beverage sectors require efficient and sustainable energy solutions that can handle a variety of fuel sources while minimizing emissions.
Generate renewable heat and power from wood waste
The biomass-fired heat and power plants by HoSt are designed to produce renewable energy using low-grade wood waste. These plants, with capacities of 8-25MWt for thermal and 1-10MWe for electrical output, utilize a high-pressure water tube boiler to achieve an electrical efficiency of over 25%. The plants offer a flexible fuel range, capable of handling wood chips, shreds, waste wood (Grade A, B/C), bark, shavings, and sawdust, with moisture contents from 10% to 60%. The design prioritizes high availability, with over 96% operational uptime and a 25-year expected lifetime. Integrated flue gas cleaning and optional carbon capture technology further enhance the plant’s performance and sustainability. Applications include district heating, food & beverage, greenhouses, and the timber industry.
