Introduction
Soil preparation technology is similar to the preparation of the soil under the vegetable crop group and depends on the condition of the land.
Classic preparation of the soil
Weeding by chemical means (glifosad)
Disk plowing for crushing the remnants of roots
Deep autumn plowing at 20-25 cm depth
Introduction of complex mineral fertilizers, depending on the results of soil samples
Preplant soil compaction and leveling
Soil should be free of plant debris, plowed, crushed and compacted

New product – Eco-briquettes
Salix Energy has been successfully operating on the Ukrainian agro-energy market for over 10 years. The company’s focus was mostly directed to biomass production. However as the world is moving towards a more sustainable, innovative future, Salix Energy has decided to expand its focus and introduce to the market new more environmentally friendly eco-briquettes for the bbq. The unique product that serves well-known purposes but does not harm nature.
Salix Energy is using the existing base to develop new ways to make our society more sustainably oriented. The great experience in the field together with already existing willow plantations put Salix Energy on the path of developing eco-briquettes from the environmentally friendly willow chips, used as raw material for carbonisation.
The environmental approach is present at all stages of production, avoiding not only unnecessary emissions, but also black timber market.
- 0 herbicides and chemicals for the establishment and operation of plantations
- Willow plantations create conditions for the growth of animal populations
- A plantation of 1,350 hectares absorbs 24.7 thousand tons of CO2, emitting 17.8 thousand tons of oxygen per year
- The willow does not require annual aeration, and therefore does not deplete the soil
- Each hectare of plantations drops 6 tons. foliage / year, which significantly improves the quality of the land
The lab-studies carried by Salix Energy showed technical characteristics that highlight the ability to freely compete with the existing products on the market, while being progressively more sustainable.
- Carbon content - 87.4%
- Moisture - 5.16%
- The highest heat of combustion in terms of combustible mass - 8,090 kcal / kg
- Net calorific value in terms of combustible mass - 7 860 kcal / kg
- Ash content - 6.65%
- The share of sulfur - 0.2%
Salix Energy created product samples to check the focus group`s real life experience with eco-briquettes, as the consumers` comfort and satisfaction plays a significant role in the company's values.
The results showed that combustion time met the standards of 4 hours, showing the high competition possibility for the product.
Focus groups faced similar experience to the existing briquettes in terms of usability ease and quality assumption.
Potential of the product is extremely high, as there are no existing analogies present on the market so far. Sharing the same full experience, while carrying about nature - a combination that can bring us to a green and happy future.
