CASE studies

Holland Biomass 4 Energy Solutions is a collaboration of several companies, manufacturing (turn-key) biomass conversion units on a farm scale and larger.

The partners are involved in the realisation of biodiesel plants, ethanol production plants, biogas plants, biomass incineration plants and combinations of these and other energy technologies. In addition, we draw expertise from a wide network of consultants, providing up to date knowledge, including biomass production (e.g. rape seed, corn, wood) and biomass pelletising. Together, we are your experts for the production, combustion and quality control of solid, liquid and gaseous biofuels

Miscanthus for energy production

Miscanthus is a large perennial grass used for energy production. Miscanthus is an environmentally friendly crop. Its large root system captures nutrients, and stems provide wildlife cover.
Our experts are counselling a number of farmers in the Netherlands to introduce miscanthus for energy production and other purposes.

Site Achterberg (Netherlands)
- 5 hectares
- Calculated reduction in natural gas: 40,000 m3
- Turn-Key, after research period of 3 years.

Ethanol production

The principle fuel used as a petrol substitute for road transport vehicles is bioethanol. Bioethanol fuel is mainly produced by the sugar fermentation process.
Our experts are able to supply technology for ethanol production on a farm scale and larger.

Site Zuidvelde (Netherlands)
- ~ 20.000 t/a crops
- ~ 6.000 t/a bioethanol
- ~ 900 kW biogas-CHP

Site Zörbig (Germany): capacity
- ~250.000 – 300.000 t/a crops
- ~80.000 – 100.000 t/a bioethanol
- ~80.000 – 100.000 t/a animal feed
- ~80.000 t/a CO2

Algae

To be competitive and independent from fluctuating support from (local) policy on the long run, biofuels should equal or beat the cost level of fossil fuels. Here, algae based fuels hold great promise, directly related to the potential to produce more biomass/ha-year than any other form of biomass.
Our experts are working on a number of algae projects with breakthrough technology.

Site Hallum (Netherlands)
- Production of 3-5 tons of algae per year.
- Combination of biogas with algae production.
- Turn-Key, after research period of 3 years.

Biodiesel

Biodiesel refers to a vegetable oil- or animal fat-based diesel fuel consisting of long-chain alkyl (methyl, propyl or ethyl) esters. Biodiesel is typically made by chemically reacting lipids (e.g., vegetable oil, animal fat (tallow)) with an alcohol.
Our installations are in operation to the full satisfaction of a number of Central and Northern European clients. A good example is the Green Mills factory in Amsterdam, built in co-operation with one of our partners. We also do biodiesel projects for small-scale use in Africa. Contact us for more information.

Pellet production

Pellets are a processed form of biomass, which make them more expensive. Although they are more expensive, they are much more condensed and uniform, and therefore are more efficient.

Our pellet experts are availlable for counselling your company in producing your own biomass-pellets. Previous clients are Akzo Nobel, Teijin and Lonza.

Pellet-fired heating systems

In these systems, the pellets are stored in a grain-type storage silo, and gravity is used to move them to the boiler.
The storage requirements are much smaller for pellet-fired systems because of their condensed nature, which also helps cut down costs. these systems are used for a wide variety of facilities.
Our experts have been involved in the realisation of a number of pellet-fired heating systems.
