Wind and solar power are leading the global transition to renewable energy, forcing fossil fuel and emissions take a back seat to a smarter, greener, more efficient electricity generation. Renewable energy sources bring new challenges, as you can’t control the supply of wind or solar – despite their infinite abundance. Electricity grids are finding it increasingly difficult to manage fast growth renewable energy integration as they cannot function unless they are able to balance supply and demand. An imbalance results in voltage fluctuations, or worse. New ancillary services are being introduced to control the variability, uncertainty and asynchronism of renewable energy to ensure the continuous, secure operation of the grid. Their vision is to design and deliver smart grid network solutions that can maximize renewable energy integration. Their technology can break down one of the last barriers to 100% renewable energy by removing the need to run fossil fuel generation to control the ‘frequency’ of the grid and other system services such as inertia, ramping and voltage control. Clean, green, affordable, definitely the future. Their mission is to design and develop Smart Grid Network Solutions that deliver superior power quality and energy storage to enable wind and solar plant assets to overcome their inherent intermittency and low capacity factors to become dispatchable ‘grid friendly’ maximized capacity energy plant with increased revenues and reduced operational costs. Grid balancing, power quality and energy storage that provide active power control of renewable energy sources to stabilize the grid faster, with greater precision and at a fraction of the cost of fossil fuel generation. Solutions that optimize renewable generation power plant performance to facilitate the controlled dispatch of energy, making it more predictable, flexible, fast responding, and ‘grid friendly’. Their job is saving the planet for fun and profit, by delivering solutions that help toward the global goal of abundant, affordable, clean, efficient, and reliable electric power anytime, anywhere – through Smart Grid Network Solutions. Their economic, ecological, and social success is captured in the triple bottom line of People, Planet and Profit and in their promotion of good energy management for the economic, social and environmental well-being of the planet.

Florafuel AG has developed an innovative process that enables municipalities, farmers, compost plant operators and traders to use biomass and biogenic residues (such as grass, leaves, reeds, wet meadows, roadside greens and silage) as high-quality renewable CO2-neutral energy sources To prepare pellets and briquettes. The required systems and dryers are developed by florafuel AG and distributed on the market. The worldwide patented florafuel process (first patent application 2003) opens up completely new possibilities for regional bioenergy production for companies, cities and municipalities. In this way, previously unused energy resources will become economically viable and environmentally friendly in terms of energy. The optimized by the florafuel process and environmentally friendly fuel stands out not only by a comparatively high fuel value, but also by an extremely positive energy balance. Since the florafuel process is geared solely to the energy recovery of organic residues and waste materials, the florafuel technology is also not in competition with agricultural feed and food production. In addition, as an alternative to composting and fermentation, the process supports the reduction of polluting emissions such as nitrous oxide, methane and ammonia. Another advantage of the florafuel process is that the bioenergy or energy sources that can be supplied via the process are suitable for baseload. Since the combustion or gasification of florafuel fuels is decentralized, it is possible to provide precisely the energy that is needed in the form of electricity and heat on site at any time. Thus, the florafuel process is an ideal addition to the bioenergy mix from an ecological as well as an economic point of view.
