The AA-Biomass project
In the context of an increasingly urgent energy transition, all types of renewable energy are rapidly expanding. One of them, capable of generating several forms of energy, is widely used across many processes and projects. This is Biomass.
Energy from biomass is a renewable energy source that relies on the cycle of living plant and animal matter. This energy can be used to generate electricity through the heat released by burning these materials (wood, plants, agricultural waste, organic household waste) or from biogas produced by the fermentation of these materials in biomass power plants. The waste is burned directly to produce heat, electricity, or both (cogeneration). This includes wood, waste from wood processing industries, and agricultural plant residues (straw, sugarcane, peanuts, coconuts, etc.).
In France, 10% of electricity production from biomass comes from biogas combustion. Several power plants generate electricity from biomass, mainly from wood. They are usually located close to the storage sites of the waste. Wood is also used for collective and industrial heating. Biomass energy emits almost no pollutants and does not contribute to the greenhouse effect. The amount of CO₂, a greenhouse gas, it releases corresponds to the amount absorbed by plants during their growth.
Moreover, converting biogas into electricity prevents methane, another greenhouse gas, from being released into the atmosphere. It represents a significant energy potential, mainly from landfills, but also from sewage sludge and urban and agricultural waste. Today, only a quarter of this potential is actually used for electricity and/or heat production.
Our areas of activity
Biomass boiler room
Wood biomass boiler rooms represent an essential component of the current energy landscape, part of the transition towards more sustainable energy sources.
Gasification process
Gasification is an innovative process in the field of energy production, located at the intersection of chemistry, process engineering and energy. This process transforms carbonaceous materials.
Hydrogen production
The production of hydrogen from biomass represents a promising avenue in the transition to a more sustainable hydrogen economy. This process is called biomass reforming.
renewable energy
Biomass-based renewable energy processes encompass various technologies aimed at harnessing bio-based organic matter to produce energy sustainably.
Each of these installations uses equipment that must be continuously supplied with biomass.
This biomass therefore needs to be stored, measured, and distributed according to demand.
The Toploader is the best solution, coupled with a conveyor, to perform all these functions. It is very simple to implement.
It allows for the storage and dosing of multiple materials such as wood chips, shredded wood, sawdust and bark, compost and peat, fertilizers, recycled plastics, grains and pellets, coal, slag, and more.
It can therefore serve a wide range of installations and sectors, including biogas production, biomass processing, energy from waste, pyrolysis, hydrolysis, agriculture, greenhouses, and more.

Following the global public performance contract that we won to develop the construction of a biomass heating plant and its heat distribution network in Passy (74190), we asked AA-BIOMASSE to provide our biomass storage and conveying solution.
The strength of AA-BIOMASSE's proposal, with its innovative ‘rake silo’ equipment, met our needs with our ground-level silo and wood-chip fuels.
AA-BIOMASSE's professional and human skills, from design to construction and commissioning, enabled them to work with us to bring the project to a successful conclusion.
We enjoyed working with both the office and field teams.
I remain at your disposal should you wish to contact me and I will be delighted to recommend AA-BIOMASSE to you.

Dear Sir/Madam
I am writing to warmly recommend the AL Industrie - AA Biomasse consortium with which we have had the privilege of working over the last two years.
We have had the opportunity to work with Arthur VERNIER and his colleagues on several projects to supply Toploaders and conveyors, including one that we will be carrying out for the IUT in Belfort (90) at the end of this year, and have always been satisfied with the quality of their services, their responsiveness and their professionalism. Their team stands out for its expertise, responsiveness and ability to meet our needs proactively and efficiently.
What's more, AL Industrie and AA Biomasse have demonstrated great reliability in meeting deadlines and commitments. Their ability to anticipate challenges and propose appropriate solutions has been a key factor in the success of our joint projects.
We are convinced that Arthur VERNIER and his teams will be able to meet your expectations with the same level of quality and commitment that they have provided to our company.
We therefore highly recommend these two companies for your projects, and remain at your disposal for any further information you may require.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Sir or Madam
I am writing to recommend AA BIOMASSE, a company with whom we have had the pleasure of working over the last few months.
AA BIOMASSE specialises in the production of Toploaders and has demonstrated exemplary professionalism during our partnership.
We include these Toploaders as part of our business of designing and building bespoke, turnkey energy plants (biomass heating, methanisation/hygienisation and pyrogasification) for farmers, local authorities, industry and the tertiary sector.
AA BIOMASSE's ability to respond quickly to requests, provide innovative solutions and adapt to site requirements has been crucial to the success of our projects and has enabled us to achieve our common goals and strengthen our business relationships.
I am convinced that A BIOMASSE will be able to meet your needs with the same commitment and rigour. Please do not hesitate to contact them to discuss the possibilities of working together.
I remain at your disposal for any further information. Yours faithfully

Mr VERNIER,
I would like to take this opportunity to express my complete satisfaction with the quality of the services provided by your company during the construction of our biomass heating plant.
From the design of the installation right through to the installation of the equipment, the quality of which is apparent, your teams have demonstrated seriousness, professionalism and a sense of service.
I would highly recommend your company for similar installations, every aspect of which you have mastered. Yours sincerely

Dear Sir or Madam
We have used AA Biomass toploaders on several occasions in our installations. They are well suited to some of our boiler room configurations.
Heizomat boilers are robust and versatile, so they can accept abundant fuels such as miscanthus.
The combination of top loader and boiler makes a lot of sense, and we've had no major problems installing and using AA Biomass systems with our boilers.

Sir,
As part of its wood energy business, VBI offers the design, manufacture and commissioning of biomass boilers through our partnership with the Austrian company Agro Forst, which specialises in hot water, superheated water, steam and thermal fluid biomass boilers for power ranges from 500 kW to 20 MW.
For these projects, we are in a position to recommend the use of AA Biomasse's services and products, which, thanks to the quality of its equipment and services, give us complete satisfaction.
Yours sincerely
Régis BIHL
