Roblum

Roblum It is the first green energy generation plant using biomass with negative carbon footprint, capable of generating energy for the consumption of approximately 50,000 homes.

Biomass

Roblum is a biomass plant, a renewable energy source derived from the controlled combustion of organic agricultural waste. This waste amounts to millions of tons, some of which is currently unused.

Advantages of Roblum

It encourages the cleaning of fields
Improvement of its phytosanitary status
Minimizes the risk of difficult-to-control fires
Reduce the use of agrochemicals and nitrogen fertilizers
It adds value to unused corn straw, rye straw unsuitable for animal feed, and rapeseed straw.
And it will also entail a new additional income for local farmers, about 16 million euros annually including logistics, as well as the creation of stable and quality employment in rural environments, a common location for biomass.

Key features

Negative carbon balance

Roblum achieves a negative carbon energy balance from biomass because the CO₂ fixed by the biomass compensates for that produced in the facilities and, in addition, this is captured and stored for use in the generation of green e-methanol by La Robla Nueva Energía.

Manageable electricity generation

With the manageable production of the facilities through some 290,000 tons of biomass, the electrical system of the area will be given greater stability.
