4. BIOMASS ENERGY: The walloon
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

There are 8 companies that
produce pellets with a total
capacity of 500,000 tons/year.
However, most of the pellets
consumption is imported (Canada,
Eastern Europe, etc.) for biomass
CHP or the heating market.

The core business of 4Energy Invest consists in
• turning non-contaminated wood biomass, wood residues, shavings,
barks ... which are at their end-of-life in the forestry sector, into energy,
either directly through cogeneration process to generate heat and
electricity, or indirectly through torrefaction process to produce
renewable solid fuels such as BioCoal.
• 4Energy Invest is operating a fully operational cogeneration plant,
located in Amel (Wallonia, Belgium), Currently developing cogeneration
projects in Ham (Flanders, Belgium) and in Pontrilas (England, UK).
• As project development company, 4Energy Invest is continuously
assessing several other projects and has further identified a number of
sites that offer opportunities to build and operate biomass-to-energy
projects in Belgium as well as elsewhere in Europe (+ Brazil)

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.
