Biomass
Power stations fuelled by biomass offer an exciting alternative to traditional fossil-fired plant.
We are a leader in the development of biomass generation and currently operate one of the UK's largest dedicated biomass plants at Steven's Croft in Scotland.
We received planning consent to build our second dedicated biomass station - Blackburn Meadows - at the site of a former coal-fired power station in Sheffield. Once built, the new power station will produce enough power for around 40,000 homes and displace the emission of around 80,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year, by burning carbon neutral fuel, such as willow or elephant grass, in place of traditional fuels like coal and gas.
We are currently investigating other biomass opportunities across the UK.
