Summary
A Biomass EfW facility Birmingham Bio Power is based on processing up to 67,000 tonnes per annum of Wood Waste producing 10.3 MWe gross power to be exported to the national grid after the facility’s own energy requirements are met. The facility is located in Tyseley in Birmingham, adjacent to Tyseley ERF. The Wood Waste feedstock is sourced locally through a contract with Jack Moody Envirofuels Limited[2].
The facility was developed by CoGen, who continue to provide management services, and is operated by Engie. Birmingham Bio Power became operational at the start of 2016[3].
Plant
The facility utilises Nexterra’s fixed-bed updraft Gasification system technology, which is an Advanced Conversion Technology. MWH Treatment provided EPC services for the project[4].
The project has an estimated cost of £47.8m which was financed Green Investment Bank (GIB), Balfour Beatty, Eternity Capital Management, Foresight’s UK Waste Resources and Energy Investments (UKWREI) fund, and Carbonarius’s GCP Infrastructure Fund (GCP)[2].
This facility has been replicated by its sister project Welland Bio Power.
Annual Sustainability Tonnage Input/Fuel
The tonnage[5] received by the plant in the most recent Annual Sustainability Report and for the previous 3 years for 2020/21 was reported by Ofgem as below[6]:
| Year | Waste Wood (m3) | Waste Wood (t) | Straw | Miscanthus | Arboricultrual Waste | Sawmill Residue | Foresrty Residue | Round Wood | Short Rotation Coppice | MBM | Other Material |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020/21 | 112037528 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2019/20 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2018/19 | 287870547 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2017/18 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Waste Tonnage, By Origin
The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit GP3509PX, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data was last updated on October 2024. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: 84,662.78t.
Where this tonnage exceeds that reported in year of the corresponding annual report, this may be due to the following reasons:
- Tonnage may have been received but not incinerated, i.e. the material is held pending incineration (the operator return to the EA reports as received whereas the annual report focuses on when the waste is incinerated.)
- Material may have been received into the site but treated in some other way than incineration.
- Material may have been received on the but transferred out of site for disposal/treatment at another site rather than incineration on the site.
