Solvay to use biomass in soda ash – 24 Feb 2022

Feb 24, 2022

Solvay is adapting one of its existing boilers to increase its co-combustion rate with biomass at its largest European soda ash plant in Devnya, Bulgaria. By powering the boiler with 30% biomass, the CO2 emissions related to energy production activities will be cut by 20%. The biomass will come from a variety of sources, including locally-sourced sunflower husk pellets

The boiler is projected to begin operating in November 2022
