Ince Biomass Power Plant

From Wikiwaste
(Redirected from Ince Bio Power)

A Biomass EfW facility, Ince Biomass Power Plant is based on processing up to 157,000 tonnes per annum of waste wood producing 21.5 MW of electricity that is exported to nPower under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement. The facility is located at Protos in Cheshire, and forms part of Peel Environmental’s ‘Protos’ energy hub located near Ellesmere Port[1].

Summary

A Biomass EfW facility, Ince Biomass Power Plant is based on processing up to 157,000 tonnes per annum of waste wood producing 21.5 MW of electricity that is exported to nPower under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement. The facility is located at Protos in Cheshire, and forms part of Peel Environmental’s ‘Protos’ energy hub located near Ellesmere Port[1]. The Wood Waste feedstock is sourced locally through a contract with Ince Park Renewables[3].

The O&M Contract for the facility is being carried out by Stantec[3]. Construction commenced in 2015 and Ince Bio Power became fully operational in March 2015[1].

Plant

The facility utilises Outotec’s fluidised bed advanced Gasification technology, which is an Advanced Conversion Technology. The EPC services for the project were provided by a joint venture between MWH Treatment Limited and Black & Veatch Limited[3].

The construction and initial operations of the facility were managed by CoGen, and funding was provided by Bioenergy Infrastructure Group[3].

Annual Sustainability Tonnage Input/Fuel

The tonnage[4] received by the plant in the most recent Annual Sustainability Report and for the previous 3 years for 2020/21 was reported by Ofgem as below[5]:

Waste Tonnage, By Origin

The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit UP3803PN, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data used is from the most recent returns. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: Expression error: Unexpected < operator.t.

Where this tonnage exceeds that reported in year of the corresponding annual report, this may be due to the following reasons:

  • Tonnage may have been received but not incinerated, i.e. the material is held pending incineration (the operator return to the EA reports as received whereas the annual report focuses on when the waste is incinerated.)
  • Material may have been received into the site but treated in some other way than incineration.
  • Material may have been received on the but transferred out of site for disposal/treatment at another site rather than incineration on the site.
