==Tonnage Input/Fuel== | |||
The tonnage received by the plant is reported as [[Wood Waste]] in the most recent [[Annual Sustainability Report]] for 2018-19<ref>[https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications-and-updates/biomass-sustainability-dataset-2018-19 Biomass Sustainability Dataset 2018-19]</ref>. 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. | |||
