HELSINKI , May 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Valmet will deliver key technology areas for ORLEN Poludnie's S.A. planned second generation bioethanol (B2G) plant in Jedlicze, Poland . The engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) delivery includes a pretreatment BioTrac system with a capacity to process approximately 400 tons of dry straw per day, a BioPower 48 MWth lignin fired combined heat and power (CHP) plant and a Valmet DNA Automation system.
The order was included in Valmet's orders received of the first quarter 2022. The value of the order will not be disclosed.
The plant will start its operation in 2024. Through this project ORLEN Południe S.A. will increase its share in the biofuels market. In addition, the project will support ORLEN's ambition to reach the EU target for bio-additives in the liquid fuels market. Bioethanol will be produced from non-food agricultural feedstocks (predominantly cereal straw) sourced mainly from Polish farmers.
Ethanol process byproduct, lignin, is used as fuel in the BioPower CHP plant, producing all steam for the ethanol plant and power.
"Valmet has a natural role to support its customers in the global transition from fossil fuels to renewable resources. The second-generation bioethanol is a very good example of Valmet utilizing the decades of experience in biomass processing for developing solutions that can be used for other applications outside its traditional pulp, paper and energy field. We see great potential in this field and are very happy to have been selected by ORLEN Południe S.A. as a key technology partner in this very important project", says Bertel Karlstedt , Business Line President, Pulp and Energy, Valmet.

Do you have the right portfolio for your retirement savings? When it comes to long-term investing, the biggest issue — by far — is overall asset allocation: How much to stocks, sectors, assets and so on. Picking individual securities within those asset classes — individual stocks or bonds, for example — usually turns out to be much less important.
Meanwhile, things are even worse for the growth-dependent Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC). Following its all-time high in November 2021, the Nasdaq has tumbled 27%. The Nasdaq's tumble officially places it in a bear market.
On a bright, promising day for the stock market, with the Dow up 1.5% and the S&P 500 closing 2.4% higher, Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) stock raced higher than most, advancing an amazing 8.5% through the closing bell. You can thank Morgan Stanley for that. Investors were ebullient in general today, and no doubt that optimism -- after more than a week of nearly nonstop selling -- helped to jump-start Ford stock moving higher.
