RSSUnited Kingdom built the world’s largest biomass power . plant in the abandoned Harbour
Feb 15
United Kingdom Embassy briefing, United Kingdom in South Wales recently abandoned Port started construction of a biomass power plant in the harbour. When completed, the plant will be the world’s largest clean energy power plants.
the Prenergy project in London by the renewable energy development company spent $ 400 million pounds, is expected to be completed in early 2010. When completed, the power plants can reduce the 3.5 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions a year, will achieve 2010 renewable electricity target for Wales making a contribution of about 70%.
according to United Kingdom introduction to energy Secretary John Hutton, the power plant will be mainly using renewable energy – sawdust as fuel, planned generating capacity of 350 megawatts, of green electricity can be produced for use by the family of Wales half. In addition to burning wood, Willow chips and sawdust, agricultural waste can also be used in the power plant, such as straw, bedding, poultry manure to power, according to the Prenergy company, a spokesman explained. The sawdust used in power plants all from the United States, and Russia and Ukraine’s sustainable forest through the ship arrived at the power plant. Prenergy competent introduction to Matthew Carse, ship transport on a large scale, with very high environmental benefits, because shipping the carbon emissions per kilometre is equivalent to land transport one-twenty fifth.
Carse also pointed out that the power plant generating process does not create harmful odors, its only emission is water vapor. Power plant will be a 100-metre high chimney, building up to 65 meters. They have independent assessment of the impact of air, the results show “close to zero”.
so far, United Kingdom maximum of bio mass can power plant is its 3 a poultry manure pad grass power plant in the of a, is located in England Eastern of saitefute, electricity is 38.5 megawatts; in England Eastern, also has world Shang maximum of straw power . plant, electricity for 38 megawatts; also has a is located in Scotland of Los grams than near to wood for fuel of power plant, power ability is 44 megawatts, can for 70,000 a family using.
biomass energy is expected to work with wind, became United Kingdom statutory one of the main energy. According to the requirements, by 2010, in the United Kingdom, energy and raw materials used by the company to 10% from green resources.
