Feasibility study for your mini biomass power plant

Before launching a project, it's essential to know whether it's technically feasible, economically viable and legally viable. This is exactly the role of our feasibility and sizing study for mini biomass power plants.

Why carry out a biomass feasibility study?

A mini biomass power plant is a powerful, local solution for converting your organic waste into heat and/or electricity.

But it requires precise design upstream. Each site is unique: nature of the waste, energy requirements, regulatory environment, etc.

Our study will help you :

Check that your mini biomass power plant is energetically coherent
Assess the forecast yield of the power plant
Estimate the overall cost and ROI
Identify subsidies available
Prepare a solid case for financial or institutional partners

Content of the feasibility study

The study is carried out by our engineers specialising in mini biomass power plants and includes :

1. Analysis of available flows and resources

Type, volume and regularity of waste
Condition and preparation required (drying, grinding, etc.)
Calorific value assessment

2. Analysis of energy requirements

Current energy balance (heat + electricity)
Consumption profile (peak hours, seasonality, etc.)
Estimated future requirements

3. Choosing the right technology

Boiler type and process biomass combustion
Production alone or cogeneration in a mini power station
Equipment sizing

4. Modelling the energy chain of a mini biomass power plant

From waste to useful energy: flows, yields, losses
Auxiliary equipment: storage, transport, filtration, injection

5. Economic simulation

Forecast CAPEX / OPEX
Estimated biomass plant efficiency
Analysis of return on investment (ROI)

Operation of a mini biomass power plant: principles to be modelled

It is essential to understand the operation of a mini biomass power plant to properly assess its viability.

Energy source organic waste (wood, agricultural, food processing)
Principle controlled combustion → heat → steam → electricity/useful heat
Performance depends on fuel, boiler and recovery system

We incorporate all these parameters into our study models.

Who is this service for?

Local authorities wishing to recycle their green waste through a mini biomass power plant
Industries generating recoverable organic waste
Farming or forestry operations with available biomass
Groups pooling their resources (cooperatives, trade unions, etc.)

The study is often the starting point to obtain subsidies or convince decision-makers.

Study = saves time, money and credibility

Not to carry out a study is to risk :

A poorly sized power station (oversizing = waste, undersizing = degraded performance)
From hidden extra costs during the construction phase
From operating difficulties long term

With our proven methodology dedicated to mini biomass power plantsyou can secure every stage of the project.

Example in practice: study for an intermunicipal authority

A community of municipalities in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region wanted to recycle its green waste and that of its schools and canteens with a mini biomass power plant.

Our study revealed :

A potential of 480 tonnes/year of dry biomass
A thermal requirement to heat 5 public buildings
ROI of 5.2 years with regional subsidies

Result: an installation launched with the support of ADEME.

A poorly designed project is a risky project. A well-designed project is a sound investment.
