A [[Biomass EfW]] facility, [[UPM Shotton Boiler 7]] is a [[Combined Heat and Power]](CHP) EFW based at the UPM [[Shotton]] newsprint mill in Flintshire, north Wales generating 24.8 MWe<ref name="UPM" /> from a [[Biomass]] feedstock of waste paper, fibre, sludge and [[Wood Waste]]<ref name="CHP" />. The plant provides up to 70% of the paper mill's energy production<ref name="UPM" />. Most of the energy is consumed in the manufacture of mechanical pulp, pumping and paper drying<ref>[https://cld.bz/bookdata/helJYL/basic-html/page-66-67.html#/ UPM Annual Report 2016]</ref>. In 2016 a second steam turbine was brought on line at the facility which utilises excess steam from the biomass [[CHP]] plant<ref>[https://www.twosides.info/UK/solar-success-for-upm-shotton/ Two sides]</ref>. | |||
