We Are Part of the Development in Bioeconomy and Circular Economy
Overview
The aim of the bioeconomy and circular economy is to conserve natural resources and use materials efficiently and sustainably. Fimpec has experience in such projects, especially in the forestry industry, which has a long tradition of utilizing by-products. We also have strong process expertise that is essential for bioeconomy and circular economy projects.
Currently, the bioeconomy and circular economy are undergoing changes and expanding into new areas. At Fimpec, we are moving towards a more sustainable future together with our clients, whether they are early-stage startups, industrial companies, or technology providers. Our expertise is available for various biorefinery, biofuel, and circular economy projects.
Bio and Circular Economy Areas
Biorefineries
Biorefineries
A biorefinery, also known as a bioproduct plant, refers to a factory or a complex of integrated facilities that processes organic raw materials. It uses organic biomass instead of fossil raw materials and produces materials, chemicals, energy, or biofuels from it. The raw materials can be biomass from forests, fields, and waters, as well as waste and by-products from municipalities and industries.
Biorefineries are our core expertise. Fimpec has extensive and diverse experience in project management, engineering, and construction management tasks, especially in various forestry industry projects. We can also offer strong process design expertise and experience in equipment installations and their supervision for biorefinery projects.
Biofuels
Biofuels
Biofuels play a crucial role, especially when replacing fossil fuels with renewable fuels in transportation. At Fimpec, we have the necessary expertise for various biofuel-related project development, project management, engineering, construction management, and supervision tasks. We are familiar with both liquid (e.g., renewable diesel, renewable aviation fuel, and bioethanol) and gaseous (e.g., biogas and biomethane) biofuels.
Our extensive understanding of the opportunities provided by biofuels is complemented by our expertise in the hydrogen economy. We are involved in several synthetic fuel projects in the hydrogen economy, which offer alternatives to biofuels. If needed, we also have expertise in the use of bioenergy in combustion plants, as we have been involved in engineering and implementing several CHP plants around the world.
Circular Solutions
Circular Solutions
By adhering to circular economy principles, we can ensure the sustainability of natural resources for future generations. The shift to a circular economy requires substantial investments in new production facilities across various industrial sectors, such as the battery industry, textile industry, and plastics processing.
In circular economy projects, our agility and ability to act according to our clients’ needs stand out. We also have a lot of practical experience in projects that use new technology. Thanks to our expertise, we can assist our clients in carrying out projects through all their stages. We also have specific expertise in certain areas and technologies of the circular economy, such as battery recycling, the utilization of side streams and waste heat, as well as textile circular economy and bio-based textile fibers.
Why Fimpec
Our strength lies in forestry and process industry expertise
Fimpec’s strength in bioeconomy and circular economy is our understanding of our clients’ businesses, expertise in process industry, and experience in carrying out major biorefinery projects. From these, we have developed unique expertise around innovative solutions.
In the forestry industry, optimizing by-products has been commonplace for a long time, and in new plants, the processing of raw materials has been taken even further. We have in-depth expertise in lignin processing and other bio-based chemicals and materials.
Our experts are also available for other bioeconomy and circular economy projects, which may involve renewable textiles, plastics, or battery materials. Thanks to our international experience, we can serve our clients flexibly all around the world.
