PREL to bring on biomass power

Peterborough Renewable Energy (PREL) has received approval from the Department of Energy to build the first Energy Park in the UK, which will eventually generate enough green electricity to power 60,000 homes.

The Energy Park will be built in Peterborough and achieve 4,000 MW of biomass power needed to meet the renewable requirement for 2020 for the UK.

The UK needs to generate 15% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020, and energy from biomass could contribute as much as a third of that.

The park will take mixed waste and recycle and re-manufacture every single element to produce renewable energy, glass, building blocks, metals and compounds. PREL has put eight years of work into this project.

The PREL process brings together mechanical recycling, food waste digestion, gasification, and plasma melting to provide a zero-landfill solution for society’s rubbish.
