    We are encouraged and impressed to see that the UK Government has established the next steps towards integrating greenhouse gas removals (GGRs) into the UK’s Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). The consultation released on May 23rd focuses on key principles, limitations, and pathways for both engineered and nature-based approaches for CO₂ removal. Bioenergy with Carbon Capture are Storage (BECCS) is listed as one of the engineering-based approaches for achieving net zero in the UK.   Graanul Invest applauds the early development of potential routes to market for BECCS GGRs and stands for:   ▪ Unquestionable sustainability and high efficiency within BECCS value chains for maximizing the positive impact of the resulting GGR credits. ▪ Robust monitoring, reporting, and verification of GGRs that follow best global practices. ▪ Key regulation supporting innovative technologies from early stages.   Consultation: https://lnkd.in/d5in_-b5 More about BECCS in the UK: https://lnkd.in/eReNcUJf #SustainableBiomass #WoodPellets #BECCS #GGR

    For two decades, Graanul Invest has maintained consistent production excellence! We're thrilled to mark the 20th anniversary of our earliest factories in Imavere, Estonia, and Alytus, Lithuania.   These pioneering production units, now reaching their 20-year milestone, remain at the forefront of technology and efficiency, a testament to our ongoing commitment to advancement. The pellet plants in Alytus and Imavere have been instrumental in our growth, serving as the foundation for our evolution into Europe's premier pellet producer. #Alytys #Imavere #WoodPellets #SustainableBiomass

    It was a pleasure to spend time with one of our 4 shipping vessels on Tuesday in Tallinn, Estonia at the Bekker Port. I'm very proud of Viktor, the Captain of the Imavere, and his crew as they are truly the final step in our efforts to satisfy the most sophisticated and advanced purchasers of woody bio energy in the World. If they succeed, then we all succeed as they are completing the very last efforts to ensure the success of our entire company! I look forward to visiting with our other 3 shipping vessels in 2024. With a fleet of 4 vessels, Graanul Invest has a unique competitive advantage to ensure fast and precise deliveries.    All 7 of our warehouses across the Baltics sea ports ensure consistent product quality and safe temperature control. This enables us to safely provide our customers with adequate storage options with rapid availability, and flexibility all year round.     People on the photo from left to right: @ Linards Jaunzems, group logistics manager; @Viktor Sotnykov, captain of MS Imavere, @Nicholas Dottino, CEO, @Helis Viirlaid, logistics operator and @Mihkel Jugaste, CSO.

    A true hero among us: Estonian President Alar Karis presented our work environment specialist, Renato Okspuu, with the Order of the Red Cross.   Since his 18th birthday in 1995, Renato has donated blood 155 times. This nearly 70-liter donation has helped to save and cure numerous patients over the last 3 decades. Blood donation is the simplest, most selfless act for saving lives. Thank you, Renato, and all other blood donors across the world!
