Valmet develops solutions to replace fossil materials with renewable ones. Our conversion technologies for biomass and waste are creating new revenue streams for our customers maximizing the value of bio-based raw materials:

• Multi-fuel boilers and Biopower plants produce CO2 free energy with high efficiency, and with wide fuel portfolio
• Biomass converted to Bio coal (black pellets) can be utilized to replace fossil fuels in power plants.
• Biomass converted to Bio-oil (pyrolysis oil) can be used to replace heavy fuel oil in power and steam production.
• Biomass or waste converted to Syngas can be used to replace fossil fuels in existing power plants or in industrial kilns
• Organic sludges can be dewatered safely and with very low energy consumption utilizing advanced technologies
• Lignin separated by LignoBoostTM can be utilized as a renewable fuel to replace fossil fuels, or as new bio-material for many industries. In addition, it may increase production by off-loading the recovery boiler in a pulp mill.
• New high-value end products such as technical carbons (e.g. activated carbon) can be derived from biomass by new innovative technologies such as hydrothermal carbonization
