==Summary==

A [[Biomass EfW]] facility based on processing up to 67,000 tonnes per annum of ~~waste wood~~ 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 ~~waste wood~~ feedstock is sourced locally through a ~~feedstock~~ contract with Jack Moody Envirofuels Limited<ref name="ref1" >Power Technology, 2016.

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<ref>Nexterra, 2014. [https://www.nexterra.ca/files/pdf/Project_Profile_BBPL20140105.pdf Birmingham Bio Power Ltd. Online. Nexterra.ca.

This facility has been replicated by its sister project [[Welland | Welland Bio Power]].

~~The tonnage received by the plant is reported as [[Wood Waste]] in the most recent [[Annual Sustainability Report]] for 2018-19<ref>[https~~://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications-and-updates/biomass-sustainability-dataset-2018-19 Biomass Sustainability Dataset 2018-19]</ref>. Because the plant is an [[Advanced Conversion Technology]] and produces a [[Syngas]] the sustainability report talks in terms of the gas input to the energy recovery system, rather than the unprocessed [[Wood Waste]] into the plant, which was 287,870,574 cubic meters.

{{EAIn|EPR={{#var: epr}}}}

The [[Wood Waste]] is exclusively supplied by [[Jack Moody Envirofuels Limited]] which sources much of the [[Wood Waste]] from [[Waste Disposal Authorities]]. The [[Wood Waste]] tonnage received and recorded in the [[EA]] statistics for the calendar year (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018) was '''24,494''' tonnes.
