Vaskiluodon voima Oy植物是世界上第一个以如此大规模采用的生物质气化，以替代化石燃料。该工厂结合了许多METSO技术，包括燃料处理，大规模干燥机和循环流化的床气体，对现有煤炭锅炉的修改以及METSO DNA自动化系统。在现有煤炭锅炉中与煤一起燃烧所产生的天然气。
Vaskiluodon Voima董事总经理Mauri Blomberg说：“迄今为止的运营经验表明，按计划的140兆瓦生物化植物起作用，并且生产的气体在煤炭锅炉中燃烧并减少了排放。”
Nearly half of the coal used by the plant can be replaced with gasified biomass, reducing the environmental impact of producing electricity, enabling the flexible use of different fuels and significantly extending the life of the power plant.
“The commissioning of the gasification plant is a major step in our company’s target of using mainly domestic fuels for heat and electricity production,” said Rami Vuola, chairman of the board of Vaskiluodon Voima and CEO of EPV Energia Oy, joint owner of the plant.
Metso在1980年代首次引入了气化技术。“煤炭锅炉仍然是世界上大部分发电的占大多数的，”梅斯索电力业务总裁吉尔基·霍尔马拉（Jyrki Holmala）说（www.metso.com/power）。“这种规模上的生物化技术为增加生物量的份额提供了一种新的，具有成本效益的选择，因此，大大减少了煤炭的使用和排放。”
Metso is a global supplier of technology and services to the process industries, including mining, construction, pulp and paper, power and oil and gas. Its 30,000 employees are based in more than 50 countries.
