We are excited to engage with Wilhelmina and to support this groundbreaking initiative” commented Mattias Erixon, Manager Sales Biomass Conversion at Valmet. “Our collaboration underscores our commitment to driving environmental innovations and leveraging our expertise to address evolving energy needs.”
