About Active Energy Group:
· Company website: www.active-energy.com
· Active Energy Group Plc, a London Stock Exchange-listed company (AIM: AEG), is a pan-European supplier of wood chip, high-energy fuel granules and granule manufacturing systems for the Biomass for Energy ('BFE') and MDF manufacturing industries.
· The Group, headquartered in London, currently operates from four locations across Europe:
o Ukraine, where it is the largest producer and exporter of MDF-quality wood chip
o Spain and Montenegro, from where it supplies BFE Biomass wood chip to power plants in Italy
o Northern Ireland, where it operates an R&D facility for its new Biomass fuel granulating systems
· The Group is led by a highly experienced and dedicated management team with a proven track record of working in the industries and regions from which its revenues are generated.
· In June 2013, AEG acquired its major trading partner and raised in excess of £3 million to facilitate future growth and expansion of its international production and shipping facilities.
· In May 2014, the Group announced the formation of a new subsidiary, AEG Pelleting Limited, to commercialise and market a revolutionary new Biomass for Energy ('BFE') fuel granulating system that converts sawdust and other industrial and agricultural co-products into valuable fuel granules for use in large-scale power plants and micro-CHP boilers.
· European Biomass for Energy ('BFE') Market:
o Biomass-fuelled power is expected to account for over 50% of European renewable energy, according to an EU directive on National Renewable Energy Action Plans.
o EU directives and continued commissioning of new Biomass and CHP power plants in Europe continue to generate additional demand for Biomass fuel, with little visibility on where that fuel will be sourced.
o The European Renewable Energy Council (EREC) estimates that Biomass-based energy production will grow from 43TWh (Terawatt Hours) in 2005 to 250TWh in 2020.
o Key NGO bodies such as the European Biomass Association and Eurelectric (the European Union of the Electricity Industry) advocate establishing harmonised, binding sustainability criteria for solid Biomass fuel.
