Summary
A Biomass Waste EFW facility based upon the co-firing of virgin wood and forestry processing rejects, with only small amounts of clean Wood Waste to generate 14MWe[1]. The Forestry Commission is the largest fuel supplier to the plant.
The Western Wood facility is owned by Western Bioenergy Ltd and Good Energies(UK) LLP is the principle shareholder (with a minority interest by Western Log Group who originally developed the project). ECO2 joined the project between 2004 and 2014 for fuel logistics and administration - the plant is now owned and operated by Greensphere Capital LLP.
Plant
The plant commenced construction in October 2006 and was fully operational in November 2008. The plant cost £33m to construct via an EPC consortium contract between Aalborg Energie Technik (AET) and Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor (BWSC). It is based on coventional combustion via an advanced grate that processes 20 tonnes per hour of wood chips, with a steam turbine from Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding[2].
Tonnage Input/Fuel
The tonnage received by the plant is a mixture of Biomass and in the most recent Annual Sustainability Report for 2018-19[3] Ofgem reported the following fuel received (Wood Waste representing 7% of input):
| Biomass | Tonnage (2018-19) |
|---|---|
| Wood Waste | 9,744 |
| Virgin Wood | 104,038 |
| Virgin Wood Chips | 17,971 |
| Brash | 4,216 |
| Total | 135,969 |
The Wood Waste tonnage received cannot be directly compared with the stated historical tonnage received and recorded in the NRW statistics as these are recorded on a calendar year basis (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018) and were not available for the period.
