Zilkha Biomass Energy produces baseload, renewable fuel in the form of the first commercially available advanced pellet in the industry: the Zilkha Black® Pellet. The product of years of R&D, our versatile Black pellet is the ideal choice for converted coal units as well as co-firing markets in Europe and Asia.
Zilkha Black® Pellets provide the low-capex option for fully converting coal units, and have successfully been fired in small, medium, and large scale tests across Europe, Asia, and the United States. For co-firing, our low-dust Black pellets can be mixed directly with coal prior to milling. These pellets can be handled, transported, and stored like coal.
Our 275,000 metric ton per year Selma plant will be online in early 2015 and we are actively licensing our technology to 3rd party producers to expand the supply of available Black pellets.
Zilkha Biomass Energy is located in Houston, Texas. http://www.zilkhabiomass.com/
