Sustainability Initiatives
Novo Biopower engages in several sustainability initiatives, primarily focused on biomass power generation. They utilize wood waste as a primary fuel source, which diverts waste from landfills and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by displacing methane emissions that would occur from organic material decomposition. Their biomass facilities are considered carbon neutral, as the CO2 emissions from combustion are offset by the CO2 absorbed during the lifecycle of the plant material. Additionally, Novo Biopower sources biomass fuel sustainably from the surrounding region, including traditional woody biomass and paper sludge, and has access to forestland that requires management, thus providing a sustainable source of biomass. The company also employs advanced pollution control technology to minimize air pollutants, contributing to cleaner energy production.
