Biocontrol

Biomass gaining credibility

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Biocontrol is a Polish company specializing in the auditing, certification, and verification of biomass and biomass-derived fuels. Its activities support companies in the energy, heating, and fuel sectors in confirming the origin of raw materials, controlling their quality, and meeting sustainable development requirements.

The company conducts independent audits and evaluates entities operating at various stages of the supply chain – from biomass producers and suppliers to companies using it for energy production. Biocontrol also develops systems for organizing information on biomass origin and controlling pellet quality.

WHAT NEEDS DOES THE INNOVATION ADDRESS?

Biomass used in the energy and heating sectors goes through an extensive supply chain. Determining its actual origin, quality parameters, and compliance with applicable requirements demands appropriate documentation and effective control mechanisms.

A lack of transparent information can increase the risk of using raw materials that do not meet specified standards or originate from improperly documented sources. This problem also applies to pellets, whose quality affects, among other things, combustion efficiency, equipment safety, and the level of pollutants generated.

Biocontrol addresses these needs by conducting audits, verifying documentation, and assessing the quality of raw materials. The company’s activities help market participants mitigate risk, confirm supplier credibility, and maintain greater transparency throughout the biomass supply chain.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

Biocontrol combines auditing and technical expertise with tools enabling the documentation of biomass origin. One of the solutions developed by the company is the National Register of Authenticated Biomass, a system that collects information about entities and raw materials subjected to the verification process.

The company also conducts activities related to pellet quality control. As part of the Good Pellet program, fuel properties and the compliance of its production process with specified requirements are assessed, among other things. This allows consumers to more easily identify products from verified sources.

By combining audits, documentation control, and quality parameter assessment, Biocontrol supports a more organized and transparent biomass market. The company’s solutions help producers, suppliers, and energy consumers confirm the quality of raw materials and their compliance with requirements applicable in the renewable energy sector.
