The article discusses the planned implementation of a new biomass boiler in an industrial enterprise, which represents an important step towards increasing the company's energy self-sufficiency and sustainable operation. The technology described is based on a high-pressure fluidized bed steam boiler with a connected backpressure turbine. This solution will enable more efficient electricity generation and rational use of available heat. As part of the assessment process, an analysis of capital investments, operational benefits, and environmental impacts was carried out.

Keywords: heat, fossil fuels, biomass, BFB and CFB boilers
