When it comes to energy, biomass is any organic matter that can be used to generate energy, such as wood, forest residues, and plant materials. Biomass-based energy production is made possible by the energy of the sun, which is absorbed by trees and plants through photosynthesis and then released when organic matter is burned or decomposes.<br><br>\n\nThe Thurso plant will initially source biomass from local suppliers within a 200 km radius.<br><br>\n\nAt \u00c9volys, most of the supply comes from logging residues, wood chips, and other existing sources of wood fibre (pulp-grade logs, sawdust, and bark, including mixed maple and birch species). Selective, sustainable logging in local forests will provide another source of biomass, in line with the Chief Forester\u2019s advice and in support of sound forest management.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><section class=\"vc_do_toggle toggle\"><label>Why use Aymium technology?<\/label><div class=\"toggle-content\"><p>Aymium is a market leader in the development and production of advanced biocarbon products from renewable feedstocks. Its products are designed to be compatible with existing equipment and operating processes, serve as immediate replacements for fossil fuel inputs, and deliver benefits in terms of both performance and the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Aymium\u2019s bioproducts are made from sustainably sourced biomass (reclaimed and unusable wood). They are renewable and carbon neutral and replace high-emission fossil fuels such as coal and coke.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section data-vc-full-width=\"true\" data-vc-full-width-temp=\"true\" data-vc-full-width-init=\"false\" data-vc-parallax=\"2\" data-vc-parallax-image=\"https:\/\/www.evolys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Woman-working-outside_faq.png\" class=\"vc_section parallax-img faq-plx vc_section-has-fill vc_general vc_parallax vc_parallax-content-moving\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row row top-row wpb_custom_034b39d9bc6c6b310d69e39f0ccf274f\"><div class=\"vc_column_container col-md-12\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 400px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><div class=\"vc_row-full-width vc_clearfix\"><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS Qu\u2019est-ce que le biocarbone?Le biocarbone m\u00e9tallurgique est une solution \u00e9prouv\u00e9e et imm\u00e9diate pour d\u00e9carboner les industries lourdes au Qu\u00e9bec qui permettrait un approvisionnement local et qui r\u00e9duirait la d\u00e9pendance sur les importations de combustibles fossiles.\u00a0Le biocarbone m\u00e9tallurgique de haute qualit\u00e9 peut directement remplacer l\u2019anthracite dans les op\u00e9rations de transformation de minerais et [...]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":81,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-79","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evolys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/79","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evolys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evolys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evolys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evolys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/www.evolys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/79\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":362,"href":"https:\/\/www.evolys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/79\/revisions\/362"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evolys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evolys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
