BIG Group opens waste wood gasification plant in Ince
The Bioenergy Infrastructure (BIG) Group has officially opened a waste wood gasification plant in Ince, Cheshire.
The plant was handed over to BIG in 2018, before it becomes fully operational in March 2019. The developers solves the outage due to problems with the screw feeder and put it back online.
The plant was developed by infrastructure firm CoGen. The plant turns waste into gas by using advanced thermal treatment (ATT) technology and has the capacity to process up to 170,000 tonnes of waste wood every year. It works by using wood as a feedstock into a gasifier, with the resulting gas then being burned to produce a steam which runs a turbine. The plant is expected to generate 22MW of electricity per year.
