Sustainable biomass
demonstrating responsibility for the Future

Our goal is to provide our customers with competitive and sustainable biomass through targeted services focused on responsibility and respect for natural resources.

Background and approach

NMS Sourcing offers comprehensive consulting and operational solutions within sourcing of sustainable wood segments, with a primary focus on biomass.

Wood is a versatile and renewable material used for construction, furniture, paper production, and many other purposes. The parts of the wood that are not in demand by the timber industry can be used for energy production.

This includes branches and tops, small, crooked, or damaged trees, as well as residual fractions from sawmills.

– Niels E. B. K. Severinsen

The complexity of the biomass market has increased significantly in the 2020s in terms of sourcing, price development, and sustainability compliance—and this trend appears to be continuing.

For forest biomass to be sustainable, the forestry from which it originates must be responsibly managed including, but not limited to, a focus on CO2 balances and biodiversity.

– Sune Balle Hansen

The approach to sustainability in NMS Sourcing is built on the integration of three key pillars.

These three elements should be integrated into the sourcing process, e.g. when sourcing biomass for energy.

At NMS, we use our practical experience and comprehensive market insights to offer solutions, which facilitate confidence for our customers through identification and management of risks in supply chains.

An agreement with NMS strengthens security of supply, ensures sustainability, and delivers a competitive economy.

– Morten Algreen Nielsen
