Our specialization

Practical expertise for industrial decisions and delivery

DME identifies and quantifies feedstock, biomass, industrial side streams and recyclable material flows and evaluates their availability for new industrial applications.

Our services include: 

  • feedstock and material-flow mapping 
  • biomass and industrial side-stream availability 
  • supplier and value-chain mapping 
  • logistics and transport analysis 
  • supply security and competing-use assessment 
  • industrial location and infrastructure assessment 
  • development of procurement and supply-chain models 

The objective is not only to identify theoretical resources, but to determine which material flows can realistically support commercially viable industrial operations. 

DME develops industrial concepts for converting biomass, industrial side streams and recycled resources into higher-value products.

Our work covers: 

  • technology screening and selection 
  • process concepts and process integration 
  • biomass and side-stream valorisation 
  • cascading use of raw materials 
  • fermentation and biological processing 
  • extraction and separation processes 
  • thermochemical conversion, including pyrolysis and biochar 
  • scale-up and industrialisation planning 

Process development and demonstration can be carried out in cooperation with ITR BioSystems Oy and other industrial and research partners. 

DME transforms technical concepts into quantified investment cases.

Services include:

  • process and capacity modelling 
  • mass and energy balances 
  • CAPEX and OPEX estimation 
  • production-cost modelling 
  • market and revenue scenarios 
  • cash-flow modelling 
  • NPV, IRR and payback analysis 
  • sensitivity and risk analysis 
  • investment optimisation 

Our TEA work links technology, raw materials, logistics and markets into a single decision-making framework. 

DME evaluates the environmental and climate performance of industrial investments and value chains.

Services include: 

  • life-cycle-based GHG assessments 
  • carbon footprint calculations 
  • carbon balances 
  • logistics emissions 
  • alternative process and energy scenarios 
  • biochar and carbon-removal assessments 
  • climate-impact comparison of alternative technologies 

DME supports clients in converting feasibility results into viable industrial businesses and investment projects.

Services include: 

  • business concept development 
  • industrial location assessment 
  • partner and investor identification 
  • due diligence 
  • business and financial modelling 
  • investment preparation 
  • project structuring 
  • implementation and procurement advisory 

DME develops and implements national and international projects from concept to execution. 

Services include: 

  • project concept development 
  • consortium building 
  • EU and international funding 
  • feasibility studies 
  • technical assistance 
  • capacity building and training 
  • project management 
  • international business development 

DME has project experience in Europe, Asia and Africa, working with companies, public organisations, research institutions and international partners.
