Summary
A Biomass Cogeneration Combined Heat and Power (CHP) EFW facility based on c.450,000 tonnes per annum of biomass fuel of which approximately 90% is recovered waste wood and the remainder virgin wood sourced from sustainably manged forests[1].
The facility is located in the small town of Markinch in Fife, Scotland and has an installed capacity of 55 MW. The plant had been generating power to Tullis Russell Papermakers and the local network since February 2014 however, following the paper plants closure the biomass facility has since only been operating in 'power only mode'at full capacity[1].
The owner and operator of the facility is RWE npower renewable, a susbsidiary of RWE Innogh's UK. The plant became operational at the end of 2012[2]. The plant replaces the existing coal-fired plant at the paper mill site and required an investment of approximately £200m[2]. RWE, the owner and operator officially took over the site in November 2010[2].
