Issues
The increase and fluctuation of fossil fuel costs make boiler rooms and biomass power plants more attractive for municipalities and industries. In relation to fossil fuel energy, the key issues for renewable energy are the security of biomass supply, the reliability of technology as well as the profitability of projects for its developers.
Benefits
Enertime develops projects of process heat and biomass power (co-generation or pure power generation) on behalf of industrialists and public or private investors.
Whether in the framework of the “Heat Fund” managed by the ADEME (BCIA project offers, regional projects), tenders of the CRE or of the “Priority-Purchase” law, Enertime accompanies you all along in your biomass projects.
