Getting biomass from A to B
A key component of any biomass to energy chain is of course logistics, getting fuel feedstock from the production site to the end-user. For large users such as power stations or combined heat and power plants this can involve moving large volumes over long distances using a variety of transportation modes. And at World Bioenergy there are those specialised in providing these services.
“We are specialised in handling agri-bulk and biomass taking in large vessels from overseas to our seaport in Brake,” said Reiner Schlehr. He and his colleague Lars Gottschenkis are both from the German company J. Müller Agri Terminal located in Brake, outside Bremen and delegates at the World Bioenergy conference.
The company can berth and handle Panamax size vessels and has large on-site covered storage capacity for dry bulk such as pellets, a product they already bring in from western Canada for transhipment to the UK.
“The conference so far has been great. The people we want to meet, from the energy utilities, the big biomass suppliers and pellet producers, are all here. Also we have made contact with other smaller ports and terminal operators so we have more than fulfilled our objectives in coming here,” they said adding they look forward to coming back in 2014.
The dates for World Bioenergy 2014 are 27-29 May.
