Bioenergy Crops Ltd

Bioenergy crops are increasingly considered for new uses worldwide at the time biomass valorization, natural resources restrictions and a need to increase energy efficiency and ecological services progessively enhance sustainability criteria. Many private organizations and experts are focused just on specific solutions to obtain biomass fuel from crops for their very specific local conditions. However as a company that produces and uses biomass often should consider a more holistic approach to integrate dedicated crops, residues, lands with different quality and agricultural equipment, to minimize fuel costs and maximize agricultural income sources and food competitiveness in its region.

We know it is very difficult to select an organization with a wider perspective, providing services and technical support to create biomass supply capacity in any country. And we certainly focus our attention without looking forward to offer specific planting materials or equipment but a much wider perspective in order to obtain lowest biomass feedstock footprint at destination (final use). The fact most companies are speficailly dedicated to genetic and breeding, limit biomass developers with biased consultancy and technical support because they only have monocultures and agronomic patterns that do not recognize local complexity and ecological concerns.

Our firm believes that every biomass developer needs to evaluate project’s ecological restrictions and opportunities and economic viability of each alternative. It is needed then to identify best opportunities in order to avoid huge capital and operational expenses. An initial design should take developers to a best (optimized) supply chain for the specific conditions of their region and maximization of environmental benefits and regional competitiveness (food and fuel as suggested by FAO). We strongly believe that this is the only way to improve food security and bioenergy while improving soil organic matter and ecological services in around 2.9 billion hectares of marginal lands that are not going to be cultivated for food.

Research and development and information from best experts are required to adapt technology and knowledge on crops.  Bioenergy Crops Ltd. Promotes projects worldwide with a conviction that a sustainable bioenergy requires a wider range of options including all possible residues, different native and introduced bioenergy crops, and conduct evaluations. Some assessments require regional approach with GIS tools, but also sampling, test plots, pilot farm developments, nurseries or  agronomy and plant physiology. Later logistic and economic models, to optimize the supply chain must consider realistic expectations on yields, costs, inputs, management and biomass qualities. And of course, this will be required to meet environmental restrictions and therefore a wide variety of impact assessments should be considered.

Our company joins a large list of experts combining all needed from agriculture to logistic chains and biomas characterizations. We have been working on several woody and herbaceous crops in different regions of the world with best companies producing biofuels, power or biogas.

Bioenergy Crops Ltd. is a unique company focusing in several alternatives to promote new business and a biobased economy. Our services and approach give our clients several options to considering for their industries.

Agronomy and crops

Bioenergy Crops Ltd. offers several services including optimization of agronomic management from planting and fertilization techniques to optimum harvest periods or  assessments on irrigation among others. Bioenergy crops can have several implications when upscaling projects and require different management to produce best results when dedicated crops are used for biogas, high density bales, chips, pellets and briquettes. We can monitor your plantations and Learn more about our dedicated industrial crops for bioproducts, pulp and energy.

Residual biomass

Biomass resources are available in most countries and day by day different stakeholders show their interest as fossil sources prices rise. Biomass and raw materials are valorized to replace fossil fuels, heat or electricity in many agri-industries. from forestry logs to coffe and sugarcane bagasse and hedgerow and olive pruning, the multiplicity of business alternatives are simply huge. We help your company to replace fossil energy. Our experts will help your company creating and improving a business plan with all resources available, identifying how much biomass is possible to be used, and estimating the economic costs to be expected. We create new business like pellets export to Europe and help you replacing fossil energy to reduce current costs in your industry.

Biomass to energy

Replacing fossil fuels is already a realistic economic option to improve many business in developed and developing countries. Depending on energy policies, subsidies for fossil fuels, electricity and domestic heating systems, different pathways can provide economic feasibility to renewable energy alternatives using biomass and energy crops. From biogas digesters to second generation bioethanol or domestic heating systems with improved stoves in rural communities of developing countries, to large scale electricity production and biodiesel, bioenergy becomes a profitable business worldwide.
