Biomass is dispatchable and provides energy 24 hours per day. Biomass is the world’s oldest & most efficient solar battery. The amount of sunlight that reaches the earth’s surface during one hour is sufficient to power the entire world for a year. The CO2 cycle is critical to solving the world’s GHG emissions deficit.

Sustainability

Biomass energy has the potential to reduce humanity’s carbon impact , but in order for this potential to be realized, it must be harvested responsibly. Our company is committed to the responsible use of biomass and sustainable forestry.
