Biomass has the ability to reduce the world's reliance on fossil fuels and spur the creation of new industries around the production of renewable energy.
Higher Returns through Renewable Energy
In addition to our primary focus of growing high-quality teak, Beyond Forestry also operates dedicated energy crop plantations for the production of biomass. Biomass is a source of clean, efficient, and renewable energy derived from biological material, as opposed to fossil fuels.
At Beyond Forestry, we have developed several biomass products, such as our Bio-G, a superior clone of Arundo Donax with continual short rotations and the Bio-E Eucalyptus (Camaldulensis). These crops offer investors a dual opportunity to achieve financial returns from the sale of biomass and/or lower their own costs through the use of alternative energy.
The benefits of growing and using biomass for energy can be broken into three categories:
Economic: Biomass has the ability to reduce the world's reliance on fossil fuels and spur the creation of new industries around the production of renewable energy.
Environmental: Living biomass plantations reduce CO2 in the atmosphere, and also prevent harmful erosion of unplanted lands. When converted to electric energy, biomass releases far fewer emissions than fossil fuels and helps to reduce greenhouse effects.
Social: Biomass plantations generate employment and services in rural areas, reducing human migration to urban areas and improving the quality of life in the countryside.
