Biomass

The use of biomass in energy production is an important factor in fulfilling Denmark’s commitment to reducing CO2 emissions. Artelia has participated in the construction of a large number of biomass-fired plants – burning straw, wood chips and pellets.


Sustainable biomass

The use of biomass reduces the need for the import of fossil fuels and increases future security of supply. Artelia is a specialist in planning and designing straw- and woodchip-fired boilers. We have been involved in the construction of several greenfield plants from start to finish.

We also advise on machinery and process aspects such as installing flue gas condensation plants to ensure optimal use of resources.

Finally, Artelia has over 85 years of experience as consulting engineers for the construction of power stations of all sizes. This includes the recent expansion of the Amager power station building a new block for biomass fuel, which will ensure the conversion of the plant from coal to sustainable energy.

Working methods

Artelia engages in the entire process. We prepare applications to be submitted to the authorities, conduct tenders for machinery and construction equipment and advise on successful commissioning and handover of the site.
