With so many different ways of generating energy, knowing which is the right option to choose for your business can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially if you want to go down the renewables route. Renewable energy systems like solar panels and microtubrines are becoming increasingly popular but have you heard of biomass?
Although forms of biomass energy have been around for potentially millions of years, it’s only just getting the attention it deserves. In fact, biomass is a key component within the UK’s energy supply, with bioenergy generating 11% of the total electricity supply in 2022.
Biomass energy is an organic, renewable source derived from plant materials. Biomass is produced in power plants and generates electricity by burning organic matter like wood, plants, crops, food or animal waste, for example.
Active Energy Group plc (LON:AEG) is a biomass based renewable energy business focussed on using its proprietary technology to transform low-cost or waste biomass material into renewable biomass fuels, thus creating next generation biomass products. AEG’S CoalSwitch® is a second generation biomass fuel that has been tested, and proven, to replace the traditional coal fired-power industry and existing renewable biomass industry without requiring plant modification.
