For the CEO of the Pfeifer Holding, Michael Pfeifer, the production of the biofuel represents “an important standing leg” of the group: “Our company produces about 420,000 tonnes pellets per year. One quarter of them in Unterbernbach. Pellets are one of the most modern and future-proof fuels that also make an active contribution to climate protection”, explains Pfeifer. Through further investments, the production will be increased in the existing pellet plants by further 90,000 tonnes by 2019, as reported by Michael Pfeifer.
