Not only for pulp and paper: Innovative new products based on wood and straw resources

Intense research is going on in many countries to use biomass more effectively, with terms such as bioeconomy and biorefinery becoming more well known every day. One example is to use the chemical building blocks contained in wood- or agro-residuals as the basic raw chemicals for the plastic industry, replacing oil-based chemicals.

Through hard times to success

Vilnius CHP (Combined Heat and Power) chose Valmet to complete the construction of the biomass unit. Valmet’s offer suited the plant’s needs best when considering the challenging task of restarting the stalled construction and ensuring smooth plant commissioning.

Positive results for Valmet BioTrac Technology in Italian project
