| About | Energies Renouvelables Des Ardennes (ERDA) is a Belgian company keen to contribute to a new environmentally sustainable economy. ERDA is building a cogeneration installation in Bertrix, which will produce 6. 3 MWe net. The heat-recuperation is used for the production of 130, 000 tonnes wood-pellets. Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of electricity and useful heat from the same fuel or energy. Facilities with cogeneration systems use them to produce their own electricity, and use the unused excess (waste) heat for process steam, hot water heating, heating of buildings, and other thermal needs. Wood-pellets are a clean, co2-neutral and convenient fuel, mostly produced from sawdust and wood shaving, compressed under high pressure using no glue or additives. As a higly standardised and compressed fuel, pellets allow cost-efficient transportation of fuel and automatic operation of plants for heat and electricity production, from one-family homes to large-scale power plants |
