Biorefinery

KSH has been supporting clients in moving some of the most recent technologies to commercial sale

KSH has decades of experience in processing biomass (wood and annual fibre) and the biorefinery concept, which involves the co-production of fuels, chemicals, combined heat and power, and materials from biomass.
