With carbon emission becoming such a vital part of the conversation surrounding the development of the global energy sector, many companies have been set on harnessing the resources on the earth to deliver a sustainable energy production system that meets the energy demands of today, whilst not harming the planet further in the process. This means that there has been a vital shift away from fossil fuels and a deepening exploration into the world of biomass. This is where cutting-edge biomass energy-technology company Dall Energy comes in, which is on a mission to be recognised as the leading global biomass gasification company using its range of patented technologies set on reducing carbon emissions and playing a role in the future of energy technology development.
Dall Energy was founded by Jans Dall Betzen in 2007, who discovered the best way to combust moist biomass and turn it into energy. This development produced energy that was low in emissions, provided great fuel flexibility and would shape the future of green energy development. Whilst still a relatively young company, Dall Energy has seen significant expansion since its first biomass gasification furnace that it put into commercial service at Bogense Fjernvarmevær in 2012, and then its first international application in New Hampshire in 2014. Its development in the United States saw it deliver a biomass furnace for industrial production at the Warwick Mills Factor, which was designed dot reduce air pollution and produce steam for industrial use.
Over the years, Dall Energy has continued to implement more of its technology and products into new and existing planets across the world, whilst winning a plethora of sustainability and design innovation awards in the process. However, a significant milestone for the company came in 2023, when the major French asset manager Eiffel IG invested in Dall Energy which helped to significantly boost Dall Energy’s growth on both a domestic and international scale.
Even before the investment by Eiffel IG, Dall Energy saw funding from various research and development programs including the EU Horizons 2020 Program, the Danish Energy Authority (EUDP), the Danish Environmental Agency, the Ministry of Higher Education and Science and ERANET. Across all of this funding, Dall Energy was able to continue to develop its technology to produce a range of products and services which set to reshare the future of energy development.
Across Dall Energy’s product offerings, it has heating plants and cogeneration plants. The heating plants provide sustainable heat for district heating works and aim to reduce local air emissions in the process. This is a patented concept by Dall Energy which allows the heating plants to operate even with low loads without the need for a separate boiler. This aims to reduce costs and provide a reliable supply to local district heating networks. The cogeneration plant (CHP) is utilised to produce sustainable electricity and heat for the local district network using biomass.
The design of the cogeneration plants is valuable as many utility companies prefer Dall’s CHP as they are designed with an Organic Ranking Cycle (ORC) which allows for maximum electricity generation in a single unit. This ensures the best possible return on its investment for companies looking to adopt Dall Energy’s cogeneration plants. Across both of these plants, Dall Energy is committed to making them cheaper and easier than traditional grate-fired plants, and a key part of this is through the company’s planning, execution, and supervision of each plant.
However, arguably the most valuable asset to Dall Energy is its biomass gasification furnace and flue gas condensation technologies. These utilise naturally found biomass which can be cheap utilising anything from garden and park waste to wooden pellets. These can be fed into the systems at varying humidities, and when heated using Dall Energy’s biomass gasification furnaces will produce energy that is low in emissions, has little maintenance costs and will provide a stable energy delivery. Plus, Dall Energy’s biomass gasification furnaces emit very little dust so no bag filters or electrofilters are needed for added emission reduction.
Dall Energy’s technologies and products have been adopted across many sites worldwide. In July, Dall Energy signed a second partnership agreement with Coriance, a French green transition pioneer. The project is part of one the biggest district heating initiatives in modern French history and will expand upon the existing Caen Nord and Hérouville-Saint-Clair heating networks in the Caen la Mer region in northern France. Dall Energy will provide 4 heating plants at 12.5MW with biomass gasification technology. Utilising this technology, the project aims to deliver heating to roughly 40,000 households in Caen and will use the plethora of garden and park waste available locally. It is hoped that the development of the heating network in Caen will reduce carbon emissions by up to 87,000 tons annually. The project here symbolises the vital role Dall Energy has continued to play across the global energy market, especially in France as its technologies are rapidly being adopted to deliver significant energy delivery whilst cutting emissions in the process.
The expansion of Dall Energy’s role in the global energy market is set to continue to expand, as in October 2024 the company acquired Weiss France Énergie and Biomass Services and Maintenance from Groupe Roullier. This acquisition comes largely as Dall Energy has seen a significant surge in the adoption of its technologies among French municipalities and businesses, and so the company is now a leader in biomass process technology in France. The two companies are both set on mitigating climate change and replacing fossil fuels across the energy sector. Therefore, whilst the companies will still operate as separate entities, they will work cohesively together, along with investor Eiffel IG, to minimise climate change and improve energy efficiency.
What stands out about Dall Energy is its new approach to the energy sector, as its operations hinge on the vital shift across many industries away from fossil fuel and towards renewable energy options. Its role across Europe has significantly grown, largely thanks to the investment of Eiffel IG, but also due to the innovative solutions that take easily accessible resources such as biomass and have transformed it into a low-carbon yet high-energy production medium. We look forward to seeing how Dall Energy continues to drive the renewable energy sector as we continue to see its technologies and products implemented across the world.
