About Helius Energy

Helius Energy plc was established to install and operate Biomass fired renewable electricity plants and to take advantage of associated business opportunities in accordance with its Earth to Energy® strategy. This delivers a sustainable business and includes integrated biomass feedstock supply chains and co-product utilisation. Such developments will help to meet the Government's targets for renewable energy and climate change mitigation. To achieve its strategy, Helius has assembled a skilled management team with significant knowledge and expertise in the energy, manufacturing, biomass, engineering and agribusiness sectors. 

Helius is targeting sites where the availability of the feedstock is optimised. For its larger projects this means access to appropriate transport links while its GreenSwitch® plants are designed to make use of readily available feedstock to generate electricity and heat for both onsite use and export to local markets and the electricity grid. Its award winning GreenFields® technology also integrates with processes such as brewing, distilling and food processing to maximise the potential of valuable process co-products for energy and other uses.
