UK JV to build biomass plant
UK wood recycler Growing Beds has signed a joint venture agreement with waste to energy company Bioflame to build a 2.5MW renewable energy power station capable of producing 20,000MW hours a year.
The plant will be located in a disused Ministry of Defence research and development building in Thurleigh, Bedfordshire.
The £7 million+ (€7.6 million) power station will be built and operated by the newly-formed Twinwoods Heat and Power (THP), supplying electricity to nearly 6,500 homes locally. Works are due to start on site in Q3 this year.
Under the terms of the agreement Bioflame will provide all technology, whilst Growing Beds will supply 30,000 tonnes of low-grade waste wood to include MDF, chipboard, plywood, painted wood, laminated wood per annum as feedstock for the facility’s clean-burn combustion system.
Operational 24/7, Growing Beds will also be responsible for day-to-day site supervision, whilst maintenance of the plant will be handled by Bioflame.
Recognised by the Environment Agency, Bioflame’s Best Available Technology (BAT) and Waste Incineration Directive compliant power station is capable of converting waste wood to energy for more than 8,000 hours each year.
