Introduction about AEG
CoalSwitch® utilises waste materials from lumber operations to create a superior energy efficient product that is a direct drop-in replacement for coal or white biomass pellets. AEG is also investing in research development to develop additional biomass fuels utilising waste timber or next generation crops which can either be used as a primary feedstock or used to co-fire with coal.
Our commitment
Experienced Leadership Team
AEG is lead by an experienced board of directors based in the UK and North America, with Executive Team based between London and the US.
To achieve Net Zero, the biomass fuels industry requires a new approach

The role of biomass
Biomass fuels are an integral part of the green renewable mix
As we move towards a renewable future, biomass is playing and will continue to play, in the energy transition towards renewables. AEG’s next generation biomass pellet, CoalSwitch®, encapsulates the qualities required for future biomass solutions

Facilitating the transition of the lumber industry waste to new energy
Sustainable fuels from forestry waste
01
FORESTRY
We focus on low value waste residuals such as bark sawdust and low value wood
02
PROCESS
The plant takes the waste product and produces CoalSwitch® biomass pellets
03
ENERGY
The power created by using CoalSwitch® pellets replaces energy previously produced through burning fossil fuels
We are focused on developed scaled production plants in North America.
First production of CoalSwitch® will be delivered from the Ashland Facility in Ashland, Maine.
