Summary
A Biomass EfW facility based on 67,000 tonnes per annum of waste wood producing 10.3 MWe gross power to be exported to the national grid after the facility’s own energy requirements are met. The facility is located in Tyseley in Birmingham, adjacent to Tyseley ERF. The waste wood feedstock is sourced locally through a feedstock contract with Jack Moody Envirofuels Limited[1].
The facility was developed by CoGen, who continues to provide management services, and is operated by Engie. Birmingham Bio Power became operational at the start of 2016[2].
Plant
The facility utilises Nexterra’s fixed-bed updraft gasification system technology, which is an Advanced Conversion Technology. MWH Treatment provided EPC services for the project[3].
The project has an estimated cost of £47.8m which was financed Green Investment Bank (GIB), Balfour Beatty, Eternity Capital Management, Foresight’s UK Waste Resources and Energy Investments (UKWREI) fund, and Carbonarius’s GCP Infrastructure Fund (GCP)[1].
This facility has been replicated by its sister project Welland Bio Power.
