Closing the loop with biomass energy
They say one person’s waste is another person’s treasure and in our latest project, that treasure is renewable energy.
We’re proud to have completed the construction and successful commissioning of a fuel handling installation for the new biomass boiler that will supply steam to the DS Smith paper mill at Rouen (FR). This installation transforms B-wood (recycled waste wood) and residual by-products from the paper process into clean, reliable energy.
One of the core engineering challenges was ensuring that the boiler receives the right fuel mix at the right moment, a precise balancing act that required smart design, advanced control systems, and seamless teamwork. The outcome is a highly efficient, sustainable solution that reduces dependence on fossil fuels and supports DS Smith’s ongoing commitment to circular production.
Proud of the entire team for turning waste into energy — and vision into reality.
