Washington to get new biomass plant
A biomass to energy project has been launched in Mason County, Washington, US.
A joint venture formed between Duke Energy and Areva, John Deere and Adage will own and operate the 55MW plant.
The plant will use woody biomass from local forests and fuel supply contracts are still being negotiated by Adage.
The company is in the process of finalising power purchasing agreements and fuel supply contracts and anticipates starting construction of the $250 million (€182.4 million) biomass power plant late this year and is planned to commence operation in late 2013.
Most of the power produced from the facility will be supplied to the local community. The power generated from the plant is enough to meet the electricity needs of about 40,000 households.
