Summary
A Biomass Waste combined heat and power (CHP) EFW facility Blackburn Meadows Renewable Energy Plant uses a feedstock of Wood Waste to generate 29 MWe and up to 25 MWth. The facility is located on the site of the former Tinsley cooling towers in Sheffield, and the Wood Waste is sourced locally within a 50-mile of the plant. The generated electricity is exported to the national grid and the heat is supplied as hot water to local businesses through a district heating network, including the Sheffield Arena and Forgemaster Steel Works[2].
The Blackburn Meadows facility is operated by E.ON Energy and became operational in 2015 after beginning construction in 2011[3].
Plant
The facility had a 10 MW battery installed after it was awarded a contract to support the national grid’s stability requirements, which became operational in 2017[2].
The unique architectural work was undertaken by BDP, which includes an orange translucent clad boiler house that is internally illuminated[3].
The facility cost £120 million to develop[4]. It has an Andritz boiler.
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 | 0 | 142827 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2019/20 | 0 | 203490 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2018/19 | 0 | 208327 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2017/18 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
The query SELECT "ewc","origin","tin" FROM "db_ea"."ea_ew_in" WHERE epr='LP3131TA' is invalid (Error : SSL SYSCALL error: EOF detected
Function: EDConnectorRdbms::fetch Query: SELECT "ewc","origin","tin" FROM "db_ea"."ea_ew_in" WHERE epr='LP3131TA' ).
Waste Tonnage, By Origin
The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit LP3131TA, 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: 208,957.68t.
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.
