Reducing the need for fossil fuels

Written by AMPC Blogger | Jul 26, 2021

As the world attempts to decarbonise, the cost and reliability of fossil fuels will come under increasing pressure.

AMPC is conducting a pilot for processors to help reduce emissions by demonstrating multi-fuel biomass alternatives to the use of fossil fuel boilers. The pilot will test biomass combinations in a portable multi-fuel biomass boiler. The objective is to build confidence and capability when members consider renewable solid fuels for thermal energy.

One of the project opportunities for members will be to consider the sustainable disposal of paunch, as well as the more economic use of adjacent agricultural wastes for use as a renewable fuel.
