Exceptional People True Stories

“I once joined a client at a straw field to watch the collecting and packing of straw that was to be sold as biomass to a CHP plant. I learned that day that the calorific value of straw depends on the amount of moisture in the air. So, to better negotiate for my client, I am now an expert on individual calorific values of different types of straw based on humidity levels.”
