Production of electricity
The company is Spain's market leader in the production of renewable energy using forest biomass and energy crop. The company was incorporated in July of 2009. The registered head office of the company is located in Madrid, Spain. The company currently has an installed capacity of 230 MW, of which 180 MW is renewable energy from biomass. Annual electricity production amounted to 1,500 million kWh. The company has undertaken major research efforts to develop energy crops using high efficiency, rapid-growth plant clones, enabling adaptation to climates and terrains. The company has also developed automated growing and harvesting techniques ensuring optimisation of investments and a reduction in operating costs. The company co-generates the electricity and heat required for its industrial operations and sells its surplus production to the national grid. To do this, the company uses biomass from two main sources as its raw material: wood bark (solid biomass) and forest residues; and the resulting residue from the wood cooking process, known as black liquor. The company generates electricity operating in six production mills: two in Navia, one in Pontevedra and three in Huelva.
