A Biomass Cogeneration Combined Heat and Power (CHP) EFW facility [[Markinch Biomass CHP Plant]] is based on processing up to 450,000 tonnes per annum of [[Biomass]] fuel of which approximately 90% is recovered waste wood and the remainder virgin wood sourced from sustainably manged forests<ref name="RWE" />.

The facility is located in the small town of Markinch in Fife, Scotland and has an installed capacity of 55 MW. The plant had been generating power to [[Tullis Russell Papermakers]] and the local network since February 2014 however, following the paper plants closure the facility has since only been operating in 'power only mode'<ref name="RWE" />.

[[Metso]] power was awarded a contract worth £75m for the delivery of a 155MWth circulating fluidised bed boiler and flue gas treatment plant. [[Aker Solutions]] were awarded a £115m contract to provide engineering, procurement and construction ([[EPC]]) and project management. It was also responsible for the design, supply, construction, installation and commissioning of the plant<ref name="POW" />.
