Biomass is an organic material used in energy production. The most used biomasses are: firewood, sugarcane bagasse, pellets, briquettes, rice hulls and others. Biomass is the main element of several new types of fuels and energy sources such as bio-oil, biogas, BTL and biodiesel.

The use of biomass as a source of energy can offer up to 90% savings, is ecologically correct, as well as being a source of clean and sustainable energy, thus preserving the environment.

REFLORESTED FIREWOOD
With the prospect of steady rise in prices of oil-derived fuels and electric power, the main fuel of the past has also become the fuel of the future. The use of reforested wood may in some cases represent savings of up to 90%.
Improved combustion techniques allow the level of particulate pollutants and emitted gases to be drastically reduced. Contrary to what many may think, burning reforested wood does not contribute to the greenhouse effect, since the burning of wood puts the same amount of carbon in the atmosphere as the plant picks up, thus keeping the CO2 balance intact. That is, the burning of firewood is much less harmful to the environment than the burning of fossil fuels, such as gas and petroleum products.
Our equipment is compact and extremely efficient for the burning of reforested firewood.

PELLETS
Heating pellets are a type of firewood, usually produced from refined and dried wood sawdust which is then compressed. There are already in the Brazilian market pellets of sugarcane bagasse, elephant grass, coal and mix of other biomasses. To obtain a good pellet for heating, it is necessary to have fresh raw material, of first transformation.
The great advantage of a granulated fuel is the automatic feed; no employee is required to power the furnace of the equipment. Pellets for heating are cylindrical pellets with 6 to 8 mm (mm) in diameter, and 10 to 40 mm in length. The high density pellets for heating also allow compact storage and more economical transport over long distances.
The pellets for heating are extremely dense and have a low moisture content, which allows them to be consumed (ie burned) with a high heat efficiency.

CAVACO DE MADEIRA
The wood chips are small pieces of wood obtained through the chopping of logs, leftovers of the sawmills, furniture industries and the discarded wood, that is, that can be recycled. The wood chip can have sizes varying from 5 to 50mm. Allows greater economy combined with automation.

BRIQUETES
The briquette is a dense and compact block of energetic materials obtained from the mechanical compaction of diverse residues such as sawdust, sugar cane bagasse or rice husk.
It offers several advantages such as: high added value, calorific value, higher flame temperature, thermal regularity, easy handling, transport and storage and still offers a lower pollution index.

SUGARCANE BAGASSE
Sugarcane bagasse is the result of the cleaning, preparation and extraction procedures of the sugarcane juice.
The current use of bagasse is its use as fuel for boilers, generating steam for heating and for generating electricity.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF THE BIOMASS AS AN ENERGY SOURCE?
The use of biomass favors the reduction of the greenhouse effect and global warming, it is a renewable energy option that does not produce large amounts of pollutants, offers a low cost of acquisition because it is renewable and allows the reuse of waste. It can also replace the consumption of fossil fuels, such as oil and its derivatives, which are not renewable.
