Areas of Expertise

The main focus of our expertise lies within the energy sector, industry and buildings. Further emphases for our operations include:

Decentralized energy production

We develop new, more efficient and economically sound solutions to manage decentralized energy production. We are specialized in the range from 1 to 1,000 kW of electric power, and aim to develop technical solutions and business models applicable for this kind of operation.

Utilization of bioenergy

We utilize top class expertise in the field of bioenergy, previously applied only in large power plants. We are now capable of providing the experience and the technical solutions required for small scale energy systems.

Combined heat and power production (CHP)

From the perspective of emissions and energy economy, combined production is clearly the most favourable manner to take advantage of biofuels in the production of electricity and heat in locations where this is possible.

Combining innovations

We strive for new results by combining innovations, using tested solutions when possible and concentrating on finding new solutions when faced with challenges. This means shorter R&D times and reduced risks. Several technical solutions can be utilized, and there is plenty of experience from them all from other sites or sectors. 

Development of new business concepts

The needs of sustainable development in the future set new requirements for both technical applications and working methods.  Decentralized energy production calls for new working methods and broader scope of expertise. New business concepts are needed, accompanied by business models customized for these needs and applicable in the prevailing environment.  The end users are typically small in scale: farms, small industry facilities, housing management companies, even owners of small houses.

Optimizing energy consumption

Our studies deal with energy consumption as a whole. Often the best way to reduce emissions and optimize energy consumption is to avoid unnecessary consumption. Before preparing the recommendations for selecting new technology, we perform a thorough analysis that covers the complete energy utilization system, its efficiency, reliability of the solution, emissions created and economic factors.

Emission control

Efficiency and emission reduction are central requirements in the application of new technology. With modern combustion technology, the results of production attained by biofuel usage in small plants can actually turn out to be cleaner than in large facilities.

Globally competitive solutions

The demand for sustainable energy technology continues to grow significantly everywhere in the world. There are markets for top products in the sector throughout industrialized world, as well as in the developing countries placing high importance in local energy production. 

Energy technology is on its way of becoming one of the most significant export sectors in global trade. International competence is a vital objective in all aspects of our R&D.
