In terms of energy, biomass can be considered as the renewable organic material which is generated by photosynthesis, as well as the organic fraction of any type of residue from the agro-livestock and agro-food industry, solid municipal waste, sludge from sewage farms, etc.

GUASCOR gasification technology:
GUASCOR has new technology for gasifying different types of biomass: Rice husks, olive cake from olive residues, wood chips, etc., with industrial plants already in operation.

The gasification plants are based on a modular concept, being able to process between 8,000 and 60,000 tonnes of biomass per year.

The gas obtained from the gasification plants is used as a fuel for the GUASCOR gensets, which convert it into electrical energy that can be exported to the national grid.

The high performance of the GUASCOR built biomass gasification plants, and the later production of electricity with the gensets, represents a competitive solution when compared with conventional boiler-fired systems.
