Summary
A Biomass EfW facility, Ince Bio Power based on processing up to 157,000 tonnes per annum of waste wood producing 21.5 MW of electricity that is exported to nPower under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement. The facility is located at Protos in Cheshire, and forms part of Peel Environmental’s ‘Protos’ energy hub located near Ellesmere Port[1]. The Wood Waste feedstock is sourced locally through a contract with Ince Park Renewables[2].
The operations & maintenance for the facility is being carried out by Stantec[2]. Construction commenced in 2015 and Ince Bio Power became fully operational in March 2015[1].
Plant
The facility utilises Outotec’s fluidised bed advanced Gasification technology, which is an Advanced Conversion Technology. The EPC services for the project were provided by a joint venture between MWH Treatment Limited and Black & Veatch Limited[2].
The construction and initial operations of the facility were managed by CoGen, and funding was provided by Bioenergy Infrastructure Group Limited[2].
Tonnage Input/Fuel
The tonnage received by the plant is reported as Wood Waste in the most recent Annual Sustainability Report for 2018-19[3]. Because the plant is an Advanced Conversion Technology and produces a Syngas the sustainability report talks in terms of the gas input to the energy recovery system, rather than the unprocessed Wood Waste into the plant, which was 181,876,041 cubic meters. The Wood Waste is exclusively supplied by Ince Park Renewables which sources much of the Wood Waste from Waste Disposal Authorities. The Wood Waste tonnage received and recorded in the EA statistics for the calendar year (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018) was 18,650 tonnes.
