Biomass steams ahead in Western Australia
The biomass power industry in Western Australia is gaining steam with plans to establish three new regional plants.
The latest plan in the south coast town of Esperance would see a thirty-million-dollar plant process one-hundred-thousand-tonne of biomass each year.
Don Harrison from energy company Verve says tree plantations already established in the region would be used to fuel the plant.
'I think once we have gone through the whole process of the quality and quantity of the feed stock that is available here and we are finalising that at the moment and are looking at the technology and the costing and so forth then its just a matter of the commercial arrangements through existing suppliers as to if one can fit into the system adequately,' he says.
