Wärtsilä Biopower Oy, a subsidiary of Wärtsilä Corporation, has developed advanced technologies and products for utilization of biofuels in small-scale heat and power co-generation. The first reference plants at Finnish sawmills have proved the BioPower technology’s reliability and cost-effectiveness. The plants using sawmill byproducts such as bark and sawdust as fuel have made sawmills almost self-sufficient in energy and improved their overall competitiveness – in terms of sustainable development.
