New biomass power plant for the UK
The British government has approved the construction of a biomass and waste power plant in Tilbury Docks, southern England.
The biomass and waste power plant will have the dual purpose of helping the UK tackle climate change whilst also reducing the amount of rubbish heading for landfill.
The construction of the new power plant will take three years and will create 380 jobs during the build. Once the power plant is complete, around 120 permanent jobs will be created.
The new biomass plant will be built by Tilbury Green Power Ltd, a unit of Express Energy Holdings. It’s overall capacity will be 60 megawatt which is about a tenth of the output of the UK’s nuclear power plants.
Biomass plants work by burning materials and using steam created from the burning material to fuel steam generators, combustion turbines, combined cycle technologies or fuel cells.
