At HIS Houtindustrie, sustainability is not a side issue but an integrated part of the production process. With our bio-energy plant we convert wood residues into heat. This way we make optimal use of residual flows and actively contribute to sustainable energy generation.
From residual product to energy
Smart use of wood residues
Each year our wood processing generates around 10,000 tonnes of wood residues. Where this residual wood used to be burned solely for internal heating, we have developed the process further. Since 1997 our bio-CHP installation has run on our own residual wood and biomass. The plant has now clocked more than 200,000 operating hours.
The heat released in the process is used for drying wood, heating buildings and various production processes.
