In 2017, there were 39 operational ~~biomass~~ EfW facilities in the UK with an electrical output exceeding 2.5 MW; the total biomass capacity of these plants is 5.73 Mt (excluding fuel imported by Drax), and these plants combined produced 4,226 GWh of power. The biomass capacity of UK EfW plants is generally increasing. From 2016-2017 the amount of biomass being processed by UK facilities increased by 6.9%.<ref name='bio1' />

An example of a biomass EfW facility in the UK is Welland Bio Power in Northamptonshire, accepting 72,000 tonnes of waste wood per year, and producing 10.6 MWe (gross) of low carbon electricity. Welland Bio Power utilises Nexterra [[Gasification]] technology and was developed by CoGen Limited.<ref>CoGen, 2019. [https://www.cogenuk.com/projects Projects — CoGen.
