Environment Green energy: How one power plant chips away at the UK's carbon footprint. By burning wood pellets instead of coal Drax power station, one of Britain’s biggest polluters, has turned

Biomass power plants: cogeneration with wood Heat and power from wood pellets. Working on the principle of combined heat and power generation, Burkhardt units use wood pellets to generate electricity and heat. Wood pellets to ENplus A1 specification are used. Our biomass power plant consists of a wood gasifier and the downstream cogeneration

Wood was the main source of energy for the world until the mid-1800s. Wood continues to be an important fuel in many countries, especially for cooking and heating in developing countries. In 2018, about 2% of total U.S. annual energy consumption was from wood and wood waste—bark, sawdust, wood chips, wood scrap, and paper mill residues.

Viking Energy, which operates two wood-fired biomass plants in Michigan owned by Engie, recently extended a power purchase agreement with Consumers for eight years. The contract’s new avoided cost rate dropped 20%, “but the big thing is we still have a contract with them,” said Neil Taratuta, plant manager at the company’s Lincoln plant.

The company said it’s also in dialogue to discuss converting two combined heat and power plants to use wood chips instead of coal when their respective heating agreements expire.

2020-5-7 · The reformer is the heart of the biomass power plant. It produces almost tar-less wood gas from biomass in a controlled process, which works on the downdraft principle: the wood chips and the wood gas moves in the same direction. The innovative structure of the reformer offers high fuel flexibility.
