Description

We have been involved in wood processing for more than a dozen years – from debarking and drying wood to manufacturing of wood products and window joinery components. Our most important business partner is the world leader in roof windows production – the Danish Velux.

More than a third of the processed wood is discarded in the processing as sawdust, offcuts and chips, and this waste is the most valuable raw material for pellet production. We have therefore developed a concept for the efficient management of wood biomass and wood chips. We will launch the production of biofuel – premium pellets with high calorific value and innovative ozonated mulch pellets. Premium pellets will be superior to competing products in terms of: technical parameters such as the purity of the biomass used and the homogeneity of dimensions and final parameters, energy properties, i.e. calorific value, and the certainty of the origin of the feedstock – the use of wood biomass (instead of vegetable biomass, such as straw or willow) at controlled moisture content and purity. The maximum annual production volume will be 15 360 tons.

The project includes the construction of a production shed, the purchase of a production line and vehicles for transporting and loading wood, as well as scientific and research cooperation with the University of Life Sciences in Cracow. The cooperation will consist in verifying the technological parameters of the pellets, which will lead to obtaining a quality certificate that allows the product to be placed on foreign markets. The 150 kW photovoltaic installation will reduce annual electricity consumption by 0.14 GW and reduce CO2 emissions by 109 tons per year.
