Biomass is a renewable resource that is available at nearly all times. When it is used to produce electricity, heat and steam in a biomass power plant or heating plant, there are significant environmental and economic benefits.

The use of biomass prevents the release of additional CO2 emissions. The release of CO2 that takes place during the incineration process would also occur in the same amount were the biomass to decay instead of being burned -- simply over a longer period of time. In addition, using biomass to supply energy increases the creation of value in the local economy, reduces dependence on energy imports and makes it possible to plan on a long term basis with clearly determined energy prices.

Biogenic waste: Modern technology - low emissions

Biogenic waste and residue that is created during production processes and that cannot be used in some other fashion (e.g. as a food source, for animal feed or in the lumber industry) is available at very low cost. Through the use of modern incineration and filtering technology it can serve as a very low-emission fuel source.

Biomass fuel mixes composed of fuel types of varying quality are also not a problem for Lambion power plants. Lambion brings many years of successful experience to the technical challenge of handling wet and dry, fine and coarse biogenic fuel materials simultaneously on a single grate.

Lambion has a unique combustion concept that takes into account the chemical composition of different types of biomass and thus can adjust to the varying characteristics of different fuel types. When the material characteristics of the biomass vary significantly it is especially important that the furnace geometry fits the requirements exactly and that the gradation and control of combustion ventilation are optimized. This guarantees a reliable supply of process energy and at the same time ensures that the specified emission limits are notexceeded.

Waste avoidance and protection of natural resources

Through the use of biogenic waste and residues, the generation of additional waste is avoided, natural resources are protected and reintroduced into the productive cycle. Depending on the type of bio fuel, it is even possible to find a use for the remaining ash. For example with combustion of rice husks, the remaining ash consists of nearly pure silicon which can be used in the microchip industry.
