Shipping bioenergy container plants to the world

It will take years before the Finnish bioenergy industry is sending ship-loads of bioenergy plants to the world.

Smaller plants can be stuffed into a container and transported to the location with a truck from the harbor.

But there are a few obstacles in the way. Distributed energy has to become a mainstream thing and the production process has to be streamlined to ensure cost-effective production. This is not the case today.

European wide or global marketing and sales has to be established. We also need hyperlocal partners and CHP-entrepreneurs to run the plants.

Bioenergy CHP in the making

We’ve a long tradition in the field of bioenergy in Finland. I’ve been working with 1 to 20 MW bioenergy CHP for two decades and familiar with the needs in Scandinavia and Central Europe.

The next step would be to offer 1 to 10 MW solutions to the Russian market. We’ve a team of technology suppliers and specialists available, but still look for the best possible strategy.
