N+P takes full control of Subcoal concept

The Subcoal concept was developed in 1998 by DSM, but only implemented at scale in 2010. Since N+P involvements began in 2013, the concept has been developed globally. Subcoal pellets are products from non-recyclable waste and can be used as a fossil fuel substitute in energy-intensive industries, such as cement and power.

“By using alternative fuels, these industries make significant savings in their energy costs,” said N+P in a press release. “In this was, millions of kilos of fossil fuels are replaced each year, which also contributes significant to a reduction of CO₂ emissions.”

Following various investments in the production facility in Delfzijl in the north of the Netherlands, N+P will focus on expanding production. The company expects a yearly growth in production capacity of 0.5 – 0.75 million tpy, with the first new production facility coming online in the UK next year.
