Using biomass (such as fibre, packaging, and woody material) from Commercial & Industrial (C&I) and Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste streams, as well as non-recyclable, low chlorine content plastics, we are able to produce a fuel that offers significant advantages in terms of both energy costs and environmental impact compared to traditional alternatives.
Our standard pellet specification is shown in the table here. Subject to the volume required, we are able to vary the specification – increasing, for example, the biomass or plastic content.
Due to the low cost per tonne and high energy content, the price per Gigajoule (GJ) is significantly lower than for traditional fuels.
