The innovative technology used to produce the required steam treated biomass has been developed by the Norwegian company Arbaflame AS.

The goal of this showcase is to investigate the technical possibilities of cost-effectively converting the coal-fired power plant into a flexible 100% sustainable biomass-fired plant, which will be able to deliver sustainable electricity as well as sustainable heat.
