Biomasa d.o.o., based in Nazarje, Slovenia, has developed an innovative and sustainable energy model that harnesses the power of local forests to provide clean, efficient, and carbon-neutral heating solutions. By converting wood waste and forestry residues into high-quality biomass fuels—such as wood pellets, chips, and firewood—Biomasa promotes a circular economy while contributing to climate goals and energy independence.

Since its inception in the early 2000s, the company has expanded significantly, offering a full-service approach that includes fuel production, installation of advanced biomass boilers, district heating network development, and long-term maintenance and servicing. Their systems are used in private homes, public institutions, and businesses, delivering both environmental and economic benefits.

Biomasa’s model is rooted in circular economy principles: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Regenerate. Through local sourcing and high-efficiency processing, the company reduces reliance on fossil fuels and minimizes waste, while regenerating forest landscapes and creating economic opportunities in rural areas.

Key Features:

  • Sustainable biomass sourcing from certified local forests
  • Energy-efficient production of wood pellets and chips
  • Installation of Fröling high-efficiency biomass boilers
  • Deployment of district heating systems
  • Long-term fuel supply and servicing partnerships

Biomasa collaborates with local municipalities, certified forestry suppliers, and EU-funded projects to enhance sustainability and technological innovation. Advanced boiler technology helps address air quality concerns, while long-term contracts ensure a stable and renewable fuel supply.

Impact Highlights:

  • Environmental: Significant reduction in CO₂ emissions and fossil fuel use; support for forest regeneration
  • Economic: Lower heating costs, job creation in forestry and energy sectors, improved local resilience
  • Social: Increased energy security, promotion of green awareness, and strengthened community ties

Biomasa’s approach is adaptable and scalable to other regions with forestry resources. It presents a strong case for how local, circular, and sustainable solutions can meet global energy and climate challenges.
