HoSt Bioenergy Systems featured in Bioenergy International

13 May 2026
The paper industry demands reliable, cost-effective energy at scale. HoSt Bioenergy Systems has been featured in the most recent edition of Bioenergy International, one of the leading trade publications covering the global bioenergy sector. The feature presents a case study on how HoSt's RDF-fired combined heat and power technology delivers reliable, cost-effective energy for an energy-intensive industrial sector.

Why the paper industry is turning to waste-fired CHP

Paper and cardboard manufacturing are among the most energy-intensive industrial processes. Facilities require large volumes of process heat and electricity around the clock, making the cost and reliability of energy supply a critical factor in overall competitiveness.

Waste-fired combined heat and power (CHP) offers a proven route to reducing dependence on fossil fuels, lowering energy costs, and meeting increasingly stringent sustainability targets. HoSt’s industrial CHP systems are designed precisely for these requirements, with thermal capacities from 2 to 50 MWth and electrical output from 1 to 12 MWe, availability rates in excess of 8,000 operating hours per year, and fuel flexibility across a wide range of waste and biomass feedstocks.

“While the Vrancart plant is up and running, it is built with future options in mind. According to HoSt, it is relatively easy to integrate other add-on technologies that the company has in-house. For instance, carbon capture, with or without CO₂ liquefaction, to produce gaseous bioCO₂ or food-grade liquid CO₂ (bioLCO2), two commercially saleable products. Whether or not Vrancart chooses to pursue this route remains to be seen, but at least now it can explore the business case.”
