Holbrook Community Renewable Energy Centre

Summary

A Biomass EfW facility based on up to 55,000 tonnes per annum of Wood Waste producing 6.5 MWe gross power to be exported to the national grid. This facility is a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant, enough heat is produced and harnessed to supply approximately 6,700 local homes and commercial properties. Holbrook Community Renewable Energy Centre is located in Sheffield.

The Wood Waste feedstock is locally supplied by Mid UK Recycling. The operator of this facility is Veolia Energy Services Ltd.

Plant

The Design and Build EPC contractor for this development was Kandor Energy Ltd.

The facility cost £30m to develop and became operational in 2017

The technology utilised in this facility is two water-cooled moving grate furnaces that are supplied by Turboden Srl (part of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group). Turboden Srl also supplied the ‘organic rankin cycle’ (ORC) turbogenerators with air condensers for the facility which uses ‘organic fluid’ vapour as the driving force for the turbine within a closed loop heating circuit.

Tonnage Input/Fuel

The tonnage received by the plant is only Wood Waste Biomass and in the most recent Annual Sustainability Report for 2018-19 Ofgem reported the following fuel received:

Biomass	Tonnage (2018-19)
Wood Waste	21,188
Other	0
Total	21,188

The Wood Waste tonnage received cannot be directly compared with the stated historical tonnage received and recorded in the EA statistics as these are recorded on a calendar year basis (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018) and were 33,821 tonnes.
