Energy

Committed to the environment. Renewable energy.

EDG is one of the pioneers in Argentina in biomass-energy production.

The company currently has 2 generators, with a capacity of 1.5 MW each.

The company produces currently about 1.8 MW for its own energy requirements. This energy is made with the waste of the sawmills and further processes of the factory.

Also, some of the energy is produced with tree branches and the very low-diameter logs.

ENERGY MADE WITH BIOMASS IMPLIES:

Generation of clean and renewable energy.

Fighting global warming (by reducing the Ozone deterioration by stopping the methane production of the wood-wastes because of their natural decomposition).

Generating qualified works in a regional economy.

Avoiding CO2 emission of other energy sources.

The system reduces the fire-risk of the pine plantations up to 70% because of the cleanup of the land.

It improves substantially the energetic efficiency of the forest.

It allows the company to achieve the requirements of the Argentinian Renewable Energies Law, which indicates that every company must progressively use more renewable energy. With this project, the company complies in full with the requirements of this law.

OUR COMMITMENT IN NUMBERS:

We consume about 180 to 200 Tn/day of forest biomass to generate green energy.

100% of the electricity we use in all sectors of the company is renewable.

We use clean energy 365 days a year.
