BIOMASS
The European Directive 2009/28 / EC defines biomass as "the biodegradable fraction of products,
waste and Residues from biological origin agriculture (including substances vegetable and animal), forestry
and related Industries including fisheries and aquaculture, as well as the biodegradable fraction of industrial
and municipal waste."
The biomass used for energy purposes consists in all those organic materials which can be used as fuel or
processed into other substances, solid, liquid, gaseous, easier to use in conversion plants. The biomass and
fuels derived from them emit in the atmosphere, during combustion, an amount of carbon dioxide more or
less corresponding to that which is absorbed previously by the plants during their growth process.
The use of biomass for energy purposes does not cause the release of more carbon dioxide, the main cause
of the greenhouse effect. Moreover, given their nature, biodegradability is a further advantage for the
environment.

HOW WE USE BIOMASS
Our plants are designed to take advantage of these resources and through the technologies developed we
are able to solve the most common problems that arise in their use.
The technology developed allows in fact, unlike other in commerce, to use power in the system, of any type
of product of organic matrix(wood chips, pruning residues, organic waste, etc.) mixed with wood chips having
a moisture content up to 50%.
The main biomasses usable are many, with a base of wood chips a mix may contain up to 50% moisture and
a presence of fine parts up to 30%.
