General information

Short Summary
Belgian company is looking for coal mines, power plants or companies that can supply Xylit.
Full Description
In order to pursue its growth plan a Belgian company is looking for tons of Xylit for it's industrial process.

Xylit is a waste generated during the extraction of lignite. Its low energy content makes it unattractive for heat production. It is therefore considered waste for mining companies.

Xylit is composed of fossilized wood and roots not transformed into lignite. Xylit is produced during the extraction of lignite and is separated from raw lignite. This separation might be done either at the exit of the mine or at the power plant.

The Belgian company found a way to recycle this waste in its industrial process. He is looking for mines, power plants or companies able to supply Xylit.
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
