Installed Systems 12 24 36 2009 2010 2011 The Wood-Power-Plant is based on the principle of wood gasification. Summarized input dry wood chips output electrical and thermal energy. The emissions are coal powder and exhaust gas, with are in the range of the European Law
Experience Now there are 60 plants that feed into the power system (Sept. 2011) the first two systems have in excess of 10,000 running hours. Overall customers we have 100,000 hours running time. The plant is made for electrical energy in a range from 30-150 KW. The customer uses the thermal energy for heating buildings, dairies, drying grass or wood Each customer can be visited.

Markets we serve Industry Rural Market- Off grid, replacing diesel generator WOOD GREENHOUSE DAIRY CHP- Wood Power Plant Big building, Farms, Schools, Community houses, Sport halls
: Example I Industry In the industry there are many way to use the Wood-Power-Plant. The electrical power is fed into the grid and the thermal energy can be used for drying wood chips, pellets, or logs. The support and service is done Payback Ø6,2 years
Example II Big buildings micro heating network Big buildings, schools, farms, sport halls all buildings can be heated by the CHP - Wood- Power-Plant. The profitability is favourable when the system is used in a micro-heatingnetwork as based load. The support/service is usually done from a mechanic from the village.

We create VALUE for the benefit of our CUSTOMER Future The Wood-Power-Plant is one way to make the energy supply renewable and decentralized. The process is independent from wind, sun, or water. The process can be stopped any time. You can use trees from landscaping services and you don t have to block areas for food. Our customers have shown us the many possibilities of how the system can be used. They have one thing in common: they replace oil, gas, coal or nuclear power economically with renewable resources. We make renewable energy competitive
We give renewable energy a new meaning WOOD POWER = electricity + heat
