Summary
A Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Biomass EfW facility based on consuming up to 240,000 tonnes per annum of Wood Waste and other Biomass as a feedstock to produce 27 MW of power. This facility supplies heat (in the form of steam) and electricity to the nearby Discovery Park, one of Europe’s leading Science and Technology parks near Sandwich in Kent. The excess power is exported to the national grid[1].
The fuel is sourced locally by Euroforest Ltd, a provider of harvesting and marketing services to the UK forestry industry, who supplies low grade wood for the facility from woodland management practices in the south east of the UK[1].
Kent Renewable Energy Plant became operational in 2018 after beginning a 25 month construction period in the summer of 2016[1].
Plant
This facility is operated by Burmeister Wain Scandinavian Contractor (BWSC), who also provided turnkey EPC services for the project[1].
Kent Renewable Energy Plant received an investment of approximately £150m of equity from its majority-owner Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) in order to develop the facility[2].
Tonnage Input/Fuel
The tonnage received by the plant is a mixture of Biomass and in the most recent Annual Sustainability Report for 2018-19[3] Ofgem reported the following fuel received (Wood Waste representing 13% of input):
| Biomass | Tonnage (2018-19) |
|---|---|
| Wood Waste | 22,067 |
| Sawmill Residues | 12,998 |
| Virgin Wood (chip) | 7,680 |
| Virgin Wood (logs) | 124,523 |
| Total | 167,268 |
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 15,773 tonnes.
