Thermal utilizationWaste wood as biomass for power generation
The thermal utilization of biomass to generate electricity is a modern, efficient and environmentally friendly technology. High-performance cleaning systems filter dust particles and flue gases so that the emission values are well below the permissible limits. In Aarberg, we operate a wood-fired power plant that utilizes biomass in the form of waste wood.
Key figures:
- Around 1,000,000 tons of waste wood are produced in Switzerland every year.
- Of this, 450,000 tons are exported.
- Terra Nova recycles around 100,000 tons of waste wood.
