Fusion Fuel announced that Biosteam Energy, the company's majority-owned joint venture has completed installation and commissioning and commenced commercial operations for its first biomass-powered industrial steam project at a well-established dairy facility in South Africa. This project is expected to generate approximately $0.7M in annual revenue with further potential projects in the pipeline. Developed in partnership with Alien Fuel, the project establishes Fusion Fuel's first operations in Southern Africa. The system replaces a fossil-fuel-based steam generation process with a biomass alternative, and is expected to reduce the facility's carbon footprint while enabling the generation of carbon credits through landfill avoidance and fuel-switching benefits. Under the terms of the joint venture, Fusion Fuel holds a 51% interest in BioSteam Energy and has a right of first refusal on future projects developed by or offered to Alien Fuel or its related entities within the scope of the joint venture's business.
