Barry Biomass EfW. Lets Recycle, 2020.

Summary

A Biomass Waste EFW facility based processing up to 86,000 tonnes per annum of Wood Waste generating 10MWe to be exported to the local grid. The facility is located off Woodham Road, Barry, Vale of Glamorgan. The Wood Waste feedstock consumed at this facility comes from a variety of sources including municipal recycling centres and manufacturing companies.

Construction of this facility began in 2016 and entered the commissioning stage in 2019. It was reported in August 2021 that commissioning had resumed after pausing in April 2020

Operations are carried out by Barry Biomass, which is fully monitored by Natural Resources Wales (NRW).

Plant

The facility is owned, managed and financed by Aviva Investors

Gasification technology is implemented to recover energy.

Tonnage Input/Fuel

There is no tonnage reported as received by the plant in the most recent Annual Sustainability Report for 2018-19 reported by Ofgem as the plant only became fully operational in late 2019/early 2020. Equally there is no historical tonnage received and recorded in the NRW statistics as these are recorded and only available on a calendar year basis up to the end of 2018 (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018). Whilst the project is reported 'live' under the Renewables Obligation scheme it is reported that no material has been processed since early 2020, primarily due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
