Biomass Engineering turns waste into power
08/11/2005
Biomass Engineering Limited, which produces biomass gasifiers, has just started running its first full commercial plant at Mossborough Hall,
The showcase plant on Merseyside is on a mixed use farm with a green waste licence and will be used to gasify chipped logs and clean waste wood. However, the company states that the technology will be used for many different wastes including leather, food processing wastes, refuse derived bio-fuels, most forms of wood, energy crops, miscanthus/straw/husks, animal by-products, and mammalian bone meal.
Will Heyes, who owns Mossborough Hall, comments: It’s an excellent, hassle-free way to diversify while contributing to a better environment. I estimate I’ll save approximately 750 tonnes of carbon dioxide from going into the atmosphere and, what’s more, I shall be seeing a return on my investment within three to five years.” He is selling his excess electricity to Green Energy UK plc, a renewable energy supplier with which Biomass Engineering has teamed up.
