UK biomass plant to open in 2012
A new GBP16m biomass plant in Plymouth, UK is set to open on schedule in October this year.
The plant is being developed by MITIE Group's Asset Management business in partnership with technology company O-Gen UK and the Una Group.
The biomass plant will convert 40,000 tonnes of waste wood into renewable heat and power each year.
The companies have formed a new energy services company known as O-Gen Plymtrek, which is exploring plans to supply energy from the plant to a local business.
The plant will generate around 26,000 MWh of electricity a year as well as heat.
A spokesman for MITIE told letsrecycle.com that contracts for the waste wood were still being finalised.
The plant has secured a grant of £525,000 from the South West Regional Development Agency and debt financing from Close Bank.
MITIE's Asset Management business will operate and maintain the plant, which uses technology provided by O-Gen UK, during a ten year contract.
