The document discusses biomass energy production in Wallonia, Belgium. It provides the following information: - In 2010, Wallonia used 147 TWh of energy, with biomass accounting for over 85% of renewable energy production and remaining the most important renewable source for 2020 targets. - Biomass combined heat and power (CHP) plants produce 5.5 TWh annually while biogas and residential heating from biomass account for smaller amounts. - There are 8 companies in Wallonia that produce wood pellets with a total annual capacity of 500,000 tons, though most pellets are imported. - The document outlines various Walloon companies involved in biomass energy production, including

market
Impossible d'afficher l'image. Votre
In 2010, Wallonia used around 147 TWh of energy;
o RE cover 6.2% of the final energy consumption ( >9
TWh)
o Biomass accounts for more than 85% of the
renewable energy production
! 5.5 TWh are produced by biomass CHP (1.25 TWh of
electricity)
! 0.2 TWh by biogas plants
! 1.5 TWh for residential heating (pellets boilers, stoves,
etc.) and the rest is coming from biofuel
o Biomass will remain the most important RE source for
the 2020 target

• developed an innovative biomethanation technology; Unlike traditional
technologies, this technology – called two-stage – enables energy
production at a local scale on the basis of plant residues without any
need for external contribution (liquid manure, etc.).
• offers a simple, efficient solution for purifying the COD-laden water
evacuated by the food-processing industry.
Walloon Technology, Patented:
FAD (Flushing Anaerobic Digestor), developped by
