BioenNW Pyrofab Show Event
–
Premiere of new biomass valorization technology in Sollefteå
27 of August 2015, Hotel Hallstaberget, Sollefteå, Sweden
Sollefteå company Energidalen AB, sub-partner of EUBIA in BioenNW project, in collaboration with four universities, have developed a new technology for producing bio-oil and biochar. The plant will be shown in Hallstaberget Solleftea in connection with an energy seminar on 27 August 2015.
The plant, named Pyrofab, is based on Intermediate Pyrolysis technology. The facility produces oil and biochar from residual biomass that would otherwise be left behind in the forest or in the field. The plant converts carbon dioxide from biomass to carbon dioxide neutral fuels such as bio-oil and biochar. Pyrofab also has the ability to treat a wide range of biomass from both households, industries such as agriculture.
Tord Fjällström CEO of Energidalen AB and President of EUBIA comments:
The plant is able to process forest residues into a valuable resource. It would bring several benefits to this sector, because it is mobile and it will also give the opportunity to local companies gain access to producing their own oil and charcoal, but also the ability to sell products in a global market.
With the mobile pyrofab, biomass no longer needs to be transported for long distances to large processing facilities. This creates opportunities for local businesses and organizations to gain access to a growing bioenergy market. The plant, designed in the context of BIoenNW project, is travelling along 5 European Countries of North West Europe area. Sollefteå is the first and only city in Sweden, where the facility will be showcased
The plant show will take place at Pyrofab facility, which has been created by the project BioenNW where the Energidalen AB, as member of EUBIA, is one of the partners. The plant is based on technology developed by the European Bioenergy Research Institute (EBRI).
BioenNW is funded by the European Union INTERREG IVB program. More information is available at www.bioenergy-nw.eu
