Alternative fuels for shaft and rotary lime kilns

We develop waste-derived fuels for shaft (PFR) and rotary lime kilns that meet strict quality requirements.

How it works

01
An alternative fuel for your lime kiln.
PAF is one of the few waste fuels suited to multi-burner injection.
02
With three decades of experience, we know how fuel quality affects your lime kiln.
Some of our grades were developed with lime kiln operators.
03
Our PAF can replace up to 100% of fossil fuels in existing multi-burner systems.
Subcoal® pellets match bituminous coal in heating value and are handled the same way.

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
Waste-derived fuels emit around half the CO₂ of fossil fuels.
00
Tonnes less fossil fuel purchased per year
PAF can replace up to 100% of fossil fuels in your lime kiln.
CSRD & ETS
Demonstrable in your reporting
Subcoal® contains around 50% biogenic content, cutting emissions.

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.
Shape
Pellets, powder or loose fuel
Size
Particle size matched to your burner or mill
Composition
Calorific value and composition to your specification
