Proxipel Wins the 2026 Bio360 Gold Innovation Award (Biomass Energy Category)

Proxipel received the Gold Innovation Award in the Biomass Energy category at the Bio360 Europe 2026 trade show. This award recognizes PROXIFLEX, our mobile, all-in-one pelletizing unit capable of processing biomass directly on-site (grinding, drying, pressing, cooling). A solution designed to make use of scattered biomass sources, reduce transportation, and improve the logistical efficiency of local supply chains.

In practical terms, PROXIFLEX operates as a fully integrated plant mounted on a semi-trailer: the material is prepared, stabilized, and then densified in a single process, producing pellets of consistent quality suitable for use as fuel, bedding, or soil amendment, depending on the source material. This “as close to the resource as possible” approach addresses a challenge well known to those in the biomass industry: volumes are often scattered, handling costs are high, and transporting low-density material quickly negatively impacts the economics and carbon footprint of projects. By bringing industrial equipment directly to the site, pelletization becomes a key tool for simplifying logistics, securing markets, and transforming a byproduct or waste stream into a valuable product.

Beyond technical performance, this award at Bio360 Europe 2026 highlights the relevance of a model based on short supply chains andthe circular economy: producing locally, using local resources, to meet local needs. It also offers a practical solution for local governments, wood processing platforms, cooperatives, landscapers, farmers, and manufacturers seeking to scale up and standardize heterogeneous biomass while maintaining control over costs and site-specific constraints. With PROXIFLEX, the goal is clear: to make pellet production accessible, quick to deploy, and directly aligned with on-the-ground realities.

Finally, this Gold Award recognizes the work of our teams and partners and reinforces our ambition: to accelerate the utilization of currently underutilized biomass by offering a mobile, versatile, and results-oriented industrial solution.
