A milestone in Lovech: Boiler House No. 2 is officially open. 🇧🇬🔥
Last week marked an important moment in the history of our customer Furajni Hrany in Lovech, Bulgaria.
Back in 2017, KARA Future Energy Systems installed the first biomass combustion system at their production facility, using straw as a renewable fuel.
Last week, almost ten years later, we proudly opened Boiler House No. 2, together with our CEO Robert Reinders, W***y Bijen and Arthur den Hartog, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Bulgaria.
What makes this project special is the circular approach behind it. Furajni Hrany uses straw from its own agricultural land: a residual stream from growing the ingredients used in its cat and dog food. Instead of going to waste, this straw is converted into energy for the production process.
The result? A pet food manufacturer that has significantly reduced its dependence on natural gas, produces with a very low carbon footprint and has created an almost fully circular production process.
From growing ingredients to producing pet food and generating energy from the remaining straw. The circle is nearly complete. 🌾 → 🔥 → ⚡
A great example of how locally available biomass can contribute to a more sustainable and circular industry.
We are proud to have been part of this journey since 2017 — and even prouder to see the second KARA biomass system now officially in operation.
Congratulations to the entire Furajni Hrany team! 👏
