==Summary==
A [[Biomass EfW]] facility 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]]<ref name="ref1" >Power Technology, 2016.

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<ref>CoGen, 2018. [https://www.cogenuk.com/projects Projects — Cogen. Online. CoGen. [Accessed 3 April 2020].</ref>.

==Tonnage Input/Fuel==
{{BioSustain|EPR={{#var: epr}}}}
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 '''59,945''' tonnes.
