The single hurdle that has – so far – blocked the development of large-scale biomass power plants (300MW) or the conversion to biomass of existing CFB (Carbon Fluidized Bed) power plants is the difficulty in ensuring the required supply of biomass to guarantee efficient operations.

GWS was set up to become the first credible, large-scale, industrialized operator in the biomass energy production sector.

Critical to its success are the following competence areas:

• A longstanding know-how in the production and sourcing of wood biomass, including forest engineering and management.
• A capability to create and manage efficient logistics processes with costs in line with those of other fuels.

The above place GWS in the unique position to be able to supply third parties power plants (as well as its own) with biomass fuel at the required quantities, with convenient timing, at the right price and with great flexibility.
