Room He has discovered the problem that generates chemicals and will now opt for the use of biomass. It should be noted that biomass is a renewable energy source of which the origin is in organic, vegetable or animal matter. This can be used directly as fuel or take the shape of other more manageable types of fuels, such as biogas or liquid biofuels.
It includes a wide repertoire of materials. Agricultural waste (straw, remains of crops), forestry (branches, sawdust), specific energy crops (corn, sugar cane, palm), urban organic waste and even expansion of animals. The acquisition of energy from biomass can be carried out via different systems, which depend on the type of material and the use of the end of the energy.
Some of the most common systems have to do with direct combustion, gasification, fermentation, anaerobic digesty and pyrolysis. Choosing a method or work is subject to various factors, such as the type of available biomass, associated costs, available technology and specific purposes of energy generation (electricity, heat, fuel).
Spain plays a crucial role in the renewable sector: biomass prospect
He Solvay group announced that his biomassablant will be ready in 2027 and will be the biggest in Room. He explained that CO2 emissions will be reduced to almost half in their factory from Torrelavega (Cantabria) With the largest cogenousing plant of the biomass.
The company has approved the development of the project to lower its CO2 footprint and to increase the competitiveness of the factory of BarredaA month after the project was declared strategic investments by the Cantabria Government. So, so, Solvay got the support of Ministry of Ecological transitionBy the system of Energy saving certificates.
According to the multinational in a press release published on its website, the brand has already concluded a long -term prohibition agreement with a long -term EnsoA company that will invest, build and perform activities in a biomass rogeneration unit for generating clean energy.
The new cogeneneration unit will reuse the sawmill through -products, forest maintenance and wood supply for pulp and paper industry. Certified and local origin materials will be used from a radius of 100 kilometers from the plant.
“This initiative marks an important milestone in the transition from the thermal energy factory to sustainable energy, which supports the actions of Solvay On the way to carbon neutrality, “says the company. A large project that overwhelms the world as this, in which it is based on biomassaas for producing glass containers.
Biomass plays a leading role in Spain, which has already found the problem of producing chemicals
As mentioned, the initiative is based on the “successful energy consumptions” of its factories of Rheinberg (Alemania) y Green River (United States)Among other things. Etienne GalanPresident of the sodium carbonate department and derivatives of SolvayHe said that this route map “a big step forward” represents in the decrease in the CO2 footprint of the company and in the delivery of more sustainable products to its customers.
“Our wider plans for Torrelavega include offering our customers Room Sodium and bicarbonate carbonate with the least carbon footprint in the market. This project again confirms our dedication to sustainable and competitive local production, which guarantees long -term viability and success, “he says.
Spain is taking a huge step with biomass
In this context, María José Sáenz de Buruaga, president of Cantabriaemphasizes that the project of the biomass factory Solvay in Torrelavega It is an insurance for the future of the factory of Barreda And his competitiveness.
“There are no miracles, what is there, is an effort, cooperation and work well done. It is the only policy that gives results and the policy of the results is what it needs TorrelavegaThe region of Baby y Secretly“Appreciates.
The project that is being carried out with biomass -well Room Especially in a privileged place Secretly. Another place in the country that is closely linked to biomass is Castilla Y León, who will encourage the use of forest biomass as a native renewable energy.
