Our operation in Turku have capability and knowhow to extract high value bioactive compounds out of sawdust. Preparing to build industrial scale operation in 2026-2027 that will produce sustainable and ethical SpruceSugar™ extract from sawdust. Sawmills produce millions of tons of sawdust and bark globally. Current commercial value of these side streams is low. Montinutra can add significant value by extracting high value bioactive compounds from those low value side streams. Sawdust and bark are usually incinerated in bio-power plants and the economic value add remains low, in addition to which the burning process causes greenhouse gas emissions. | ||

TerraNova Energy is a pioneer in Hydrothermal Carbonization of sludge and biowaste. In 2010, TerraNova Energy constructed the first HTC demonstration plant in Europe, and subsequently, constructed the first commercial HTC plant worldwide in 2016. The advantage of the TerraNova ultra process is that it takes place in an aqueous environment, so that no drying of the input material is necessary. Furthermore, the TerraNova ultra units have a highly efficient recovery system, which minimizes the heat demand of the HTC process. The HTC coal contains hardly any water and, thanks to its high energy content, can be used for climate-friendly energy generation in coal-fired power plants or as a substitute for fossil fuels in cement plants or waste incineration plants. | TerraNova Energy is a pioneer in Hydrothermal Carbonization of sludge and biowaste.
