Haffner Energy: Irish forestry owners examine its thermolysis technology
Ireland has abundant forest biomass, particularly following the violent storms of recent years, and its stakeholders are seeking to recover its residues.
It is within this framework that Irish forest owners came to examine Haffner Energy's thermolysis technology, according to a company publication dated 30 October 2026.
Three forest owners welcomed in Vitry-le-François and Marolles
Andy Dunne, Padraig Dolan and Damien Brophy visited Vitry-le-François this week, where Haffner Energy's headquarters are located, then the industrial site in Marolles. The publication is signed by Laetitia Mailhes, the company's business development and communication manager.
In their own words, as reported by the company, its technology is « the first they have discovered that is truly capable of meeting their needs ». This assessment was made by the visitors themselves, at a stage prior to any economic evaluation.
An economic viability study as the next step
The next step will consist of studying the economic viability of this solution, taking into account the specifics of the market and the Irish regulatory framework.
The technical suitability noted during the visit must therefore be examined against the country's specific conditions. At this stage, the approach remains exploratory, with no commercial operation announced.
Residues, energy and local resources: the sector's challenges
In Ireland, as in many other countries, forestry players must recover biomass residues, meet energy challenges and make greater use of local resources, in addition to fighting climate change.
These needs overlap with Haffner Energy's business, which designs biomass thermolysis technologies intended in particular to produce renewable gas and hydrogen.
