The transition to Biomass
Biomass from woodworking is a renewable energy source and contributes to the energy independence and sustainability of the woodworking industry. By using wood waste and sawdust as local sources, the woodworking industry reduces its dependence on imported fossil fuels and increases its own energy security. This makes woodworking biomass a smart and sustainable choice for the future of energy supply.
Efficient heat production with biomass from the wood industry
In the wood industry, organic materials such as wood waste, MDF, OSB, particleboard, and plywood waste streams are converted into valuable biomass. By utilizing these materials, biomass can be converted into heat. This heat is distributed to households and businesses via a district heating network, resulting in a sustainable and reliable heating system. This process helps cities reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, while waste from the woodworking industry is efficiently reused.
An unprecedented number of possibilities in woodworking
The woodworking industry converts materials such as wood waste, MDF, OSB, chipboard and plywood residual flows into valuable biomass.
MDF, CHIPBOARD, Plywood AND OSB
The production of MDF, particleboard, plywood, and OSB requires large amounts of energy, for example, for pressing. This requires a large amount of energy, such as steam and thermal oil.
The production of panel materials generates residual flows. Use these residual flows to optimize the energy efficiency of your MDF production with KARA's reliable biomass solutions. Our systems convert MDF residuals into clean, renewable energy, making your production processes more environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Benefit from our technologies to reduce your environmental footprint while meeting the growing demand for sustainable production methods.
Thanks to our years of experience, we know exactly how to handle the properties of this often very dry fuel. A major challenge is the high combustion temperatures associated with dry fuels. Excessively high temperatures are harmful to systems and lead to high emissions. Therefore, it is crucial to keep combustion temperatures under control.

WOOD PELLETS
Wood pellets are mainly used as fuel for pellet stoves and biomass boilers, due to their high energy density, clean combustion and easy storage and transport.
They are a sustainable energy source because they are usually produced from waste wood and residual material from wood processing processes.
Wood pellets are a type of biomass fuel made from compressed wood. The production of wood pellets requires significant amounts of energy, particularly for drying and pressing the wood waste. However, by using efficient technologies and sustainable energy sources, pellet plants can optimize their energy consumption and reduce their environmental impact.
We understand your challenges in wood pellet production. Make your wood pellet production more sustainable with KARA's biomass solutions.

Sawdust
SAWDUST AND WOOD DUST
There are several residual streams in the form of dust. Dust can be used effectively as biomass fuel. However, using dust presents challenges in converting it into efficient energy.
This requires a proper balance of technologies to mitigate risks.
KARA has built several successful projects where dust has been used as an efficient fuel for green energy. Thanks to our experience, we know what is involved in burning dust. For instance, we pay close attention to combustion efficiency and combustion temperature. Both can lead to problems when using dust. This process is continuously regulated at our facility. Through effective aeration and proper cooling, among other measures, we ensure that maximum energy is extracted from the dust fuel. Proper regulation also ensures that emission requirements are met.

Sawmills
Sawmilling processes consume a great deal of energy, for example, in the drying chambers used to dry wood. Furthermore, the sawmill production process generates a significant residual flow. This residual flow can be used very efficiently to generate heat.
Therefore, increase the sustainability of your sawmill with KARA's reliable biomass solutions. Our technologies convert your waste stream into useful energy, making your sawmill processes more environmentally friendly and efficient. KARA can also convert fuels with a moisture content of up to 55% into efficient energy. Benefit from our advanced systems to reduce your carbon footprint while simultaneously lowering costs.
