Mobile unit for making pellets out of agricultural and woody biomass waste that isn’t being used.
With Proxipel’s solution, woody waste can be turned into pellets that can be sold. When they are used today, they are used in ways that don’t add much value and often release greenhouse gases. Proxipel turns pellets into renewable energy with a high added value by using mobile, innovative units that make pellets right where they are used.
Here are some examples of waste wood that Proxipel can turn into something else, whether it’s dry or wet: — new wood – wood waste – vine shoots – communal pruning – forestry waste – straw – agricultural residues – agri-food residues – etc.
With the help of the Proxipel units, we’ll be able to make pellets close to home at a price that’s competitive while also improving the circular economy: – Making use of waste made in the area – Using local workers – Use of pellets in the area This will also cut down on CO2 emissions and make the EU and Switzerland less dependent on foreign energy, since 30% of the pellets they use are imported.
