Summary
A Biomass Waste combined heat and power (CHP) EFW facility utilising Wood Waste to generate 3.2 MW. The facility is located at the BSW sawmill in Carlisle. The electricity generated is used in the sawmill production process and the heat is utilised in the kilns, treatment plant, and offices[2].
This facility was developed in partnership with Dallol Energy[2], and became operational in 2016[3].
Plant
The facility cost £2.5 million to develop and is part of BSW’s £11 million investment programme for biomass energy facilities at its mills in the UK and Latvia[2].
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]:
| Year | Waste Wood (m3) | Waste Wood (t) | Straw | Miscanthus | Arboricultrual Waste | Sawmill Residue | Foresrty Residue | Round Wood | Short Rotation Coppice | MBM | Other Material |

Waste Tonnage, By Origin
The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit 1448, 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.
