The customer company must renovate its heating systems, which consist of an old 1.6 MWth biomass boiler. The solution identified uses a new boiler constantly supplied with biomass, which is able to access the ContoTermico 2.0 Renewable Heat Incentive.
Situation prior to intervention
The company used 2,000 tons of biomass (wood chips). The cost of heat production was € 60.00 per tonne, or approximately € 120,000 a year.
The client is a company in the wood sector with an existing 3MWth boiler installed in Northern Italy, which produces hot water.
Situation prior to intervention
The company used 5,000 tons of biomass (wood chips) composed of processed waste from its production process.
The productions costs for this heat can be calculated as lost profits from the sale of biomass on the market of € 60.00 per tonne, which equals € 300,000 a year.
