Bioenergy is a low carbon solution to energy generation. It can be used to produce heat, electricity and transport fuel. Managed in a sustainable fashion, bioenergy can make a significant impact on reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. Here at Grontmij we have many years experience of designing solutions for a variety of bioenergy fuels including:

• Virgin wood and associated trimmings, stumps, brash, bark and sawdust
• Dedicated energy crops such as short rotation coppice (SRC) and miscanthus
• Secondary biofuels such as bioethanol and biodiesel
• Construction and industrial waste biomass materials
• Landfill, sewage and Anaerobic Digestion (AD) gas
• Municipal solid waste (MSW), refuse derived fuel (RDF) and solid recovered fuels (SRF)
• Agricultural Waste
