Biomass

Akuo Energy is involved in all stages of the life cycle of power plants: studies, design, financing, construction and operation.

Biomass includes all organic material produced by living or recently living organisms such as wood and plants (leaves, roots, stems, weeds, etc.) together with all microorganisms and animals, including animal waste. The main sources of biomass energy are garbage, wood, waste, landfill gases, and alcohol fuels.

Biomass sources contain immense amounts of energy, and the combustion thereof allows for the production of electrical energy, steam or both. Alternatively, forest residues can be converted into an efficient energy fuel by converting them into wood pellets. The compressed wood within the pellets results in a highly increased calorific capacity, such that they can be more efficiently and conveniently used in industrial or domestic stills than logs or chips.
