==Summary== | |||
The Sherwood Biomass Waste [[Combined Heat and Power]](CHP) EFW facility is located in Widmerpool, Nottingham and generates 6.55MWe of electricity and up to 4.5 MWth of process heat which is supplied to the adjacent sawmill operations<ref name="BIO">[https://www.bioenergy-news.com/news/veolia-contracted-to-operate-sherwood-biomass-plant-in-uk/ Bioenergy News]</ref>. The plant uses up to 52,000 tonnes of [[Wood Waste]] per annum<ref name="BIO" /> which is supplied by [[Waring Waste]] and [[Mick George]]<ref name="PIN">[http://www.pinnaclepower.co.uk/news/nottingham-biomass-plant-to-bring-low-carbon-energy-to-10000/ Pinnacle Power]</ref>. | |||
In 2015 [[Veolia]] secured a 20 year contract worth £50 million from [[Equitex ESI CHP]] to operate the Sherwood Biomass facility. Under the contract [[Veolia]] will provide operation and maintenance on a 24/7 basis and will deliver monitoring, reporting and compliance services<ref name ="BIO" />. The agreement also covers water treatment, emission monitoring and ash disposal<ref name="BIO" />. [[Veolia]] have also secured a long term [[PPA]] with [[Engie UK]]<ref name="PIN" />. | |||
[[Pinnacle Power]] provided the management services for the entirety of the project on behalf of the funders, [[UK Green Investment Bank Plc]] (now [[Green Investment Group]] (GIG)) and [[Equitex ESI CHP (Nottingham) Ltd]]<ref name="PIN" />. | |||
==Plant== | |||
The plant uses a traditional steam cycle for generating electricity through the combustion of life-expired [[Wood Waste]] from local sources<ref name="BIO" />. | |||
The technology employs a moving floor which has a capacity of approximately 200m<sup>3</sup> and delivers fuel to the boiler at a rate of approximately 7 tonnes per hour<ref>[https://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/DMS/Document.ashx?czJKcaeAi5tUFL1DTL2UE4zNRBcoShgo=13PhBmmNpa1k5Cg5h6YbnbBEZrq9ZvCMRGp%2BkN4MvJkNnOegeWs3Hg%3D%3D&rUzwRPf%2BZ3zd4E7Ikn8Lyw%3D%3D=pwRE6AGJFLDNlh225F5QMaQWCtPHwdhUfCZ%2FLUQzgA2uL5jNRG4jdQ%3D%3D&mCTIbCubSFfXsDGW9IXnlg%3D%3D=hFflUdN3100%3D&kCx1AnS9%2FpWZQ40DXFvdEw%3D%3D=hFflUdN3100%3D&uJovDxwdjMPoYv%2BAJvYtyA%3D%3D=ctNJFf55vVA%3D&FgPlIEJYlotS%2BYGoBi5olA%3D%3D=NHdURQburHA%3D&d9Qjj0ag1Pd993jsyOJqFvmyB7X0CSQK=ctNJFf55vVA%3D&WGewmoAfeNR9xqBux0r1Q8Za60lavYmz=ctNJFf55vVA%3D&WGewmoAfeNQ16B2MHuCpMRKZMwaG1PaO=ctNJFf55vVA%3D/ Planning Document]</ref>. | |||
==Tonnage Input/Fuel== | |||
The tonnage received by the plant 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> was reported by [[Ofgem]] as follows: | |||

The [[Wood Waste]] is received from a variety of sources. The [[Wood Waste]] tonnage received cannot be directly compared with the stated historical tonnage received and recorded in the [[EA]] statistics as these are recorded on a calendar year basis (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018) and was '''29,151''' tonnes. | |||
