Biomass Power Limited

Our aim is to own and operate biomass power stations with our venture partners.

This approach is unique to Biomass Power Ltd as we combine financial investment with the most up to date gasification steam cycle technology.

Biomass Power Ltd will work within its partnerships making our joint aspirations possible.

Biomass Power Ltd’s highly optimised process of staged gasification with steam cycle ensures that we meet the criteria of advanced conversion technology without the technology risk. Biomass Power has developed standard modules which produce green energy from a range of fuels segregated from commercial, industrial and domestic waste streams. Also simpler fuels like waste wood agricultural residues and purposely grown biomass are suitable, offering greater future fuel flexibility than any of our competitors. 

Once we have completed our business review and helped the partnership to answer all the investor community’s standard questions, the investment will be made by our broad spectrum of investment partners who have invested into our projects before.

Biomass Power Ltd's In house engineering uses a range of tools to assist in the engineering of process including Computerised Fluid Dynamics; Computer Aided Design, three dimensional design and virtual reality simulations.

This winning combination of our financial commitment backing our proven technology capability makes Biomass Power Ltd the perfect partner choice for your biomass power station needs.

It is important to identify the localised needs at the outset of the project before selecting which approach to take. For example, it is not environmentally acceptable, from a carbon standpoint to produce CHP if heat is only required for part of the year. However it is acceptable to produce PPG as long as you are grid connected and there is constant local power demand.

When you produce only Pure Power Generation (PPG) from a biomass fired steam cycle, the turbine which generates the power has the steam extracted from it at a negative pressure to ensure as much of the latent energy or heat in the steam is used to produce the power.

When producing Combined Heat and Power (CHP) from a biomass fired steam cycle, the turbine which generates the power pushes the steam from it at a positive pressure to ensure there is enough latent energy left in the steam to produce usable heat.

Both strategies have great environmental credentials, it’s all about local infrastructure and demand. The demand can also be created, for example, a cold store could be built next to the power station to utilise Combined Cooling Heat and Power (CCHP).

The local demand can be met by installing a hot water ring main or district heating system, however the UK has traditionally allowed the customer personal choice of their heating energy providers, raising questions for the implementation of CHP in the future.

The UK has some decisions to make about what renewable energy fits the bill. The truth is they all fit given a certain set of circumstances; it’s about choosing what’s best for the locality you live in.

Environmental Advantage

BPL has the local and global environment at the heart of its company policies and any BPL power plant development considers first and foremost local sensitivities, global emission standards and CO2 reduction targets.

BPL's system design and highly optimised control strategy ensures compliance with any national or international emissions standards and boasts market place proof of meeting all the challenges that modern day society demands.

Buildings have been constructed from 12-15m in height
Emissions achieved on working plants are half of what the allowable limits of the national environmental standards dictate
Noise has been attenuated from ambient noise levels as low as 35dBA
Biomass Power can produce guaranteed electrical efficiency 'fuel to buzz bar' using well proven robust steam boiler technology.
