Argus Biomass Conference

Drax

Drax Group’s purpose is to enable a zero carbon, lower cost energy future. Having converted Drax Power Station in the UK to use sustainable biomass instead of coal, we have become the UK’s biggest renewable power generator and the largest decarbonisation project in Europe. In 2019 Drax announced a world-leading ambition to be carbon negative by 2030, using Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) technology. The Group aims to capture 12Mt a year of carbon removals globally. Drax has 17 operational pellet plants and developments and is targeting 8Mt of production capacity by 2030, which will require the development of over 3Mt of new biomass pellet production capacity.

Airex Energy

Airex Energy is a global leader in climate solutions, committed to helping organizations achieve net-zero emissions. Our advanced torrefaction and carbonization technologies transform biomass waste into high-value products, including biocoal, biochar, and biocarbon. Biocoal is a clean, renewable alternative to fossil coal, making it the ideal choice for electricity generation, heating, and the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Biochar not only sequesters carbon for hundreds of years but has also multiple applications, such as soil amendment, water filtration, animal feed, concrete production, etc. Lastly, biocarbon can replace petroleum coke and other high-grade carbon fuels in metallurgical processes. Through our innovative approach, we contribute to sustainable practices while enhancing the value of waste materials.

TSI
