Summary
A Biomass Waste Combined Heat and Power(CHP) EFW based at the UPM Shotton newsprint mill in Flintshire, north Wales generating 24.8 MWe[1] from a Biomass feedstock of waste paper, fibre, sludge and Wood Waste[2]. The plant provides up to 70% of the paper mill's energy production[1]. Most of the energy is consumed in the manufacture of mechanical pulp, pumping and paper drying[3]. In 2016 a second steam turbine was brought on line at the facility which utilises excess steam from the biomass CHP plant[4].
Plant
The technology in use at the plant is a Bubbling Fluidised bed system[2]. The biomass facility cost an estimated £59m[5].
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[6] Ofgem reported the following fuel received (Wood Waste representing 46% of input):
| Biomass | Tonnage (2018-19) |
|---|---|
| Wood Waste | 151,080 |
| Sawmill Residues | 22,532 |
| Arboriculture and Forestry Residues | 54,355 |
| Other (Internal Paper Pulp) | 98,576 |
| Total | 326,543 |
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 91,754 tonnes.
