Projects under development

The CHO Power plant in Morcenx, currently under commissioning, will be the first power generation plant by gasification os waste and biomass in Europe.

Since its launch, CHO Power technology has attracted a large amount of interest from potential clients and partners (local authorities and communities, businesses, developers, etc.) regarding the development of biomass power plants.

CHO Power is actively working on 7 projects in Western Europe and North America. These projects include the Hirwaun project (Wales), developed by Enviroparks Ltd, under RFQ phase and the UK Ports of Hull, Barry, Sunderland and Barrow developed with Sunrise Renewables. These 4 power plants, representing a total net power production of 37.5 MWe, have received planning permissions, grid connections are secured, feedstock and power off take contracts are being finalized with reputed local energy and biomass suppliers. Subject to the funding scheme, the first project should start construction in second half of 2012.

CHO Power is also overseeing the work of developers trained in its methods on 20 additional projects at a less advanced stage of development.

EUROPLASMA : 126 advanced gasification power plants to be built in France by 2030

126 advanced gasification power plant to be built in France by 2030

CHO Power, specialist in the waste and biomass to energy sector, has completed a detailed market study that shows that 650 new advanced gasification power plants will have to be built in Europe(1) by 2030 to meet EU renewable energy targets.
Biomass, from mixed solid waste to wood pellets, is the greatest primary energy source in the mix of renewables. The growth of this market in recent years has been limited by the lack of appropriate technologies.
Thanks to the use of efficient gasification technologies, the proportion of electricity produced from waste and biomass is set to grow in the years to come. The study(2) shows that in Europe, this additional renewable electricity capacity to be installed between 2015 and 2030 is estimated at 19,649 MWe; from which 6,501 MWe(3) will be produced by advanced gasification technologies such as CHO Power.

Press release – 126 advanced gasification power plants to be built in France by 2030 06/11/2012

France will represent itself with almost 20% of this market with 1,273 MWe of advanced gasification capacity to be installed by 2030, representing more than 120 reasonably sized power plants adapted to a typical 100-150,000 inhabitant’s area, assuring an effective territorial network to meet the demand. This ranks France as one of the most attractive market in Europe sustained by the electricity feed-in tariff and the increase of landfill costs (TGAP).

ECN, Royal Dahlman, sign gasification technology licence deal

By Energy Research Center of the Netherlands | May 24, 2013

The ECN gasification technology produces gas that can be converted to power through cogeneration stations or gas turbines, biodiesel and other transportation fuels, or biogas for the grid.

A gasification technology developed by the Energy Research Center of the Netherlands will be applied on a global scale in the new few years, as ECN has signed a license agreement with Dutch company Royal Dahlman.

Royal Dahlman plans to implement the “MILENA” gasification technology in various countries and across many different projects. Using the technology, various kinds of waste and biomass can be converted into high energy gas. In ECN’s testing facility, wood and agricultural waste from soya or rice was used. The gas MILENA produces can be converted to electricity through combined heat and power stations or gas turbines, biodiesel and other transportation fuels, or biogas for the grid.

To remove tar from the gas ECN has developed “OLGA” technology, which Royal Dahlman will also use. In the Dutch city of Alkmaar, a testing plant has been constructed for the gasification of waste. In India, a testing facility has been built to generate electricity from agricultural waste, and in the U.K., the Energy Technologies Institute has selected Royal Dahlman to design the most cost effective waste-to-energy plant, combining MILENA and OLGA.

“MILENA is the missing link through which biomass may be converted into a usable gas. The problem of biomass gasification has always been its low efficiency. We have solved that with MILENA,” commented Ruud van den Brink of ECN. “Compared to other technologies it’s suitable for the gasification of various wastes and biomasses. The gas it produces can be used to make biogas, but also biodiesel.”

Royal Dahlman has many clients who want to use the gas in combined heat and power stations to generate electricity. In the future the company also hopes to turn the gas into transportation fuels or chemical products

Groundbreaking 140-MW biomass gasification plant in Vaasa, Finland, uses Metso technology to reduce fossil fuel use and coal emissions and give flexible fuel capabilities to existing coal-fired power plant.

By Jeanne Schweder, AW Contributing Writer

The Vaskiluodon Voima Oy plant is the first biomass gasification in the world to be adopted on such a large scale for the replacement of fossil fuels. The plant incorporates a number of Metso technologies, including fuel handling, a large-scale dryer and circulating fluidized bed gasifier, modifications to the existing coal boiler and a Metso DNA automation system. The gas produced is combusted along with coal in the existing coal boiler.

“The operational experiences so far indicates that the 140-MW bio-gasification plant functions as planned, and the produced gas burns cleanly in the coal boiler and reduces emissions,” said Mauri Blomberg, managing director, Vaskiluodon Voima.

Nearly half of the coal used by the plant can be replaced with gasified biomass, reducing the environmental impact of producing electricity, enabling the flexible use of different fuels and significantly extending the life of the power plant.

“The commissioning of the gasification plant is a major step in our company’s target of using mainly domestic fuels for heat and electricity production,” said Rami Vuola, chairman of the board of Vaskiluodon Voima and CEO of EPV Energia Oy, joint owner of the plant.

Metso first introduced gasification technology in the 1980s. “Coal boilers still account for the majority of power production in the world,” said Jyrki Holmala, president of Metso’s power business line (www.metso.com/power). “Bio-gasification technology on this scale offers a new, cost-effective option for increasing the share of biomass and, consequently, for significantly decreasing the use of and emissions from coal.”

Metso is a global supplier of technology and services to the process industries, including mining, construction, pulp and paper, power and oil and gas. Its 30,000 employees are based in more than 50 countries.
