EASY-TO-USE LOW CARBON FUEL FOR HARD-TO-DECARBONIZE INDUSTRIES
HOW WE’RE DRIVING THE JOURNEY TO NET ZERO

Reaching Net Zero requires innovation beyond conventional biomass fuels. At Active Energy Group, we’re redefining what’s possible.

Our flagship product, CoalSwitch®, transforms waste materials from lumber operations into a high-performance, energy-dense fuel that serves as a direct drop-in replacement for coal or white biomass pellets—delivering lower emissions without costly infrastructure upgrades.

To build on this success, AEG is actively investing in R&D initiatives focused on developing additional biomass fuels derived from waste timber and next-generation energy crops. These fuels are designed to serve as primary feedstocks or be co-fired with coal, offering flexible, low-carbon solutions to accelerate the transition to a net-zero energy system.

The role of biomass

Biomass fuels are an integral part of the green renewable mix

Biomass is an essential component in the global energy transition, providing a renewable, low-carbon alternative to traditional fossil fuels. It enables industries—particularly power generation and heavy industry—to reduce their carbon footprint without the need for extensive infrastructure changes.

At Active Energy Group, we focus on converting waste materials from lumber and forestry operations into high-quality, next-generation fuels such as CoalSwitch®. This approach not only displaces coal but also supports sustainable resource management by turning waste into valuable energy.

By advancing biomass technologies and investing in innovative feedstocks, AEG is committed to expanding the role of biomass in the energy mix, driving both environmental benefits and energy security as part of the journey to Net Zero.

FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES

Biomass Solutions

Active Energy Group is committed to advancing a diverse range of renewable energy technologies to support a sustainable future. Beyond our core biomass expertise, we are actively investing in wind, solar, and battery storage solutions to create a balanced and resilient clean energy portfolio.

In parallel, we continue to drive innovation in biomass through research and development focused on next-generation fuels derived from waste timber and energy crops. These advanced biomass fuels can be used as primary feedstocks or co-fired with coal, providing flexible, low-carbon alternatives that complement our broader renewable energy strategy.

Through this integrated approach, AEG is positioned to deliver scalable, sustainable energy solutions that meet evolving market needs and accelerate the transition to Net Zero.
