Bioenergy generation and delivery.

Martens Wood Waste Solutions has its own bio-cogeneration (CHP) that generates heat and electricity. The fuel consists of wood residues and waste wood that is processed into small wood parts that guarantee optimal combustion. Thanks to the use of a high-tech incinerator and state of the art filtration, all green energy regulations are met. In this way, Martens bio-cogeneration is a supplier for green electricity to the general energy network.

Facts and myths about bio heat by Martens

Residual and waste wood as fuel

In the Netherlands, about 60% of all sustainable energy is generated by burning biomass. Lately, heated discussions have arisen about the sustainable nature of biomass and the combustion of natural raw materials such as wood in particular. Often based on a false image. For example, Martens bio-CHP only uses wood residues and waste wood that comes from nearby.

Renemar, for a customised bioheating solution.

Renemar is one of Martens’ initiatives. Set up to use the knowledge of bioheat power plants and the availability of biofuel as a solution for a ‘gasless’ construction. The concept designed for this? Onzebuurtwarmte.nl
OnzeBuurtwarmte is the solution for home owners who want to jointly purchase heat energy. Renemar Energie also provides professional builders and industrial and agricultural largescale consumers with sustainable energy with a customised bioheat solution.

The power of bio heat

One medium-sized Bio Heat Installation of 15 MW is enough to provide 15,000 homes with energy. A capacity that requires 15 regular wind turbines, or 8 hectares with modern solar panels

Collection of wood residues and wood waste.

Martens uses a large number of containers to collect wood residues and wood waste from wood processors and companies that generate a lot of wood waste. But also green processors, foresters and tree harvesting companies rely on Martens for the sale of residues.

For processing waste and wood residues, Martens has a modern machine park with shredders where wood is processed and ground into wood shavings, sawdust and high-quality wood pellets.
