Summary
A Biomass Waste EFW located near Port Talbot, South Wales, generating c. 40 MW[1] based on an annual combustion rate of c.335,000 tonnes of wood waste per annum[2].
The plant is owned by Glennmont Partners, a specialist clean energy investment fund which focuses on investment in clean energy infrastructure. Originally the Margam project was a joint venture between Cardiff based energy development company, Eco2 Ltd and a local company, Western Logs Group. Eco2 Ltd now has responsibility for the plants overall operations and fuel management supply[1]. The project was one of the final of its type to be supported under the Renewables Obligation [3].
The plant became operational in 2019 at a cost of c.£160m[1].
The Margam plant takes waste wood that is supplied by Stobart Biomass on a long term contract. The waste wood is sourced and supplied by Stobart from across the country at a rate of approximately 6,000 tonnes per week[1]. The plant is also capable of processing contaminated wood and fuel containing metals with no pre-treatment required. The facility is also able to take municipal waste as a fuel source in the future if required[2].
Plant
The main EPC contractor was the consortium of Babcock Wilcox VØlund a/s (BWV) and Interserve Construction Ltd. VØlund is part of the Babcock & Wilcox Group, and provided the process equipment whilst Interserve (Wales) undertook the civil engineering and building. The project was delivered under an EPC turnkey contract with BWV now having the responsibility for the plant’s operations and maintenance[1] for the next 15 years[2].
The plant features the patented advanced DynaGrate® technology which can handle all types of biomass and waste and is based on the Bruun & Sørensen technology.[2].
