  • Lower fuel costs: Our pellets provide a cost-effective alternative to Heavy Fuel Oil, Heating Oil, LPG, and Paraffin. 

  • Reduced emissions: Lower your carbon footprint and offset carbon taxes. 

  • Proven performance: Efficient operation in step grate & chain grate boilers and specialized pellet burners. 

  • Reliable supply: Locally produced pellets ensure consistent quality and availability. 

Why should you
make the switch?

When considering replacement of Gas-fired or Fuel Oil boilers, biomass is an excellent solution to lower both operational expanses and GHG emissions. These boilers do require retrofitting of the burner systems and is a normal practice in many regions around the globe.

Case study - Coal Boiler Test with John Thompson 2025

Biomass is a strong, practical substitute for fossil fuels in steam and heat production. Together with John Thompson, we ran a test program to assess boiler performance and stack emissions when replacing coal with biomass in chain-grate boilers. With no capital investment, the boilers performed nearly on par with coal. With minor modifications and setup adjustments, equal or better performance is achievable.

Results Biomass Fuel vs Conventional Coal burning​:

Efficiency: 1% lower NCV efficiency than coal-fired boilers​​​

Emissions: Better than coal​​​

  • Lower particulate matter​​​

  • No sulphur dioxide​​​

  • Very low NOx & TVOC​​​​

Ash: 2.5 kg collected per 2-hour test— very low​​​

Combustion & Performance  ​

  • Stable, even combustion ​

  • Highly responsive to loadfluctuations due to
    faster gratespeed: 6.25 m/hr (vs 3–4 m/hrfor coal) ​

  • Turndown Ratio: Same as coal(5:1)​
