Power plants
Replace coal in your power plant with waste-derived fuel
Our pellets and powder fuels co-fire with coal or fully replace it, with less than half the CO₂.
How it works
01
An alternative fuel for your coal or wood pellet boiler.
Our pellets are milled or co-milled in existing coal mills.
02
With three decades of experience, we know how fuel properties affect your boiler.
Use our fuel for co-firing or as 100% of your fuel mix.
03
Subcoal® pellets match bituminous coal in heating value and still contain around 50% biogenic content.
In 2020, with partners, we achieved the first unsupported waste-derived flame on a 24 MWt burner.
Every tonne you replace is CO₂ you don’t emit.
We handle sourcing, quality control, permits and daily logistics by truck, rail or sea, so you can focus on your process.
Impact
00%
Less CO₂ per tonne of product
Our fuels match coal's properties with less than half the CO₂.
00
Tonnes less fossil fuel purchased per year
PAF can replace up to 100% of fossil fuels in existing burners.
CSRD & ETS
Demonstrable in your reporting
Subcoal® contains around 50% biogenic content, cutting emissions.
Portfolio
These fuels suit pulverised coal boilers and boilers converted to burn wood pellets.
How we keep to that specification
01
Grip on the source
We source from several countries, so you never depend on one stream.
02
Our own sorting
Our own MRFs in the UK and the Netherlands sort the waste we work with.
03
Thirty years of measurement data
Three decades of data on how waste quality affects process parameters.
Doesn't fit? Then we make it fit.
Does your process need something different? We develop bespoke fuels with you, based on both the physical feeding requirements and the chemical product and emission requirements of your process.
