Danish company Bioener pioneered the design, installation and commissioning of the world’s first successful straw-fired power plant in Rudkobing, Denmark. The 2.3 MW CHP plant was extremely successful, and is still running very well today. In 2009 DP acquired 100% of Bioener and the related technologies.
DP CleanTech (DP) (originally DragonPower) was first company to license and use patented Danish biomass technology for generating electricity and heat in China. Dragon Power also founded National Bio Energy (NBE), a plant owner and operator. Today NBE successfully operates over 40 DP-equipped plants in China, and is partnered with the State Grid Corporation of China.
DP successfully built and commissioned China’s first biomass power plant in Shanxian province. The NBE 30 MWe wood-fired plant has been further optimized for multiple fuels, and is still one of the best performing mixed fuel biomass power plants in China.
DP acquired Bioener, the Danish company with the most successful patented HPHT technology in the world. This technology is still the market leader for reliability and efficiency. DP has refined and adapted the technology for new markets, new fuels and new regulatory and customer requirements.
DP became an independent, global company concentrating solely on the design, engineering, manufacturing, commissioning and servicing of biomass and waste-to-energy power plants.
DP expanded its manufacturing capacity with a 2,500 m2 workshop in Poland. The facility works alongside specialized suppliers throughout Europe and Asia to supply equipment for some of the most advanced biomass and waste-to-energy plants in the world.
