Biomass

Description

Introducing the Viñales Biomass Cogeneration Plant – a pioneering solution for sustainable energy production. Strategically located at the Viñales sawmill in Chile, this innovative project, run by Arauco Bioenergía S.A., combines advanced technologies with environmentally friendly practices to create a powerful and efficient energy source. The plant is equipped with a high-performance fluidized bed boiler producing 210 tons of steam per hour and a 41 MW turbine-generator unit. This powerful combination allows biomass, such as sawdust and bark from sawmills and forestry residues, to be used to produce both heat and electricity. By using these residues, the Viñales Biomass Cogeneration Plant not only helps to reduce waste but also to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, by an estimated 258 093 tons of CO2 equivalent per year. This project is more than just energy production – it represents an opportunity for your company to become part of the green transition. The plant is designed to integrate seamlessly into industrial processes, giving your company self-sufficiency in heat and electricity. In addition, the plant enables the sale of surplus electricity to the local grid, creating a new source of income while supporting Chile in developing a cleaner energy mix. The Viñales Biomass CHP plant is an investment in the future. By choosing this solution, you are helping to promote the use of renewable energy and putting your company at the forefront of sustainable innovation.
