Description
The project is being developed and currently owned by Belgian Eco Energy.
The project is expected to supply enough clean energy to power 450,000 households, to offset 450,000t of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) a year. The project cost is expected to be around $358m.
The process of combustion will be adopted in this combined heat and power (CHP) project to release the stored energy from the feed. Agricultural by-product and wood by-product will be used as a feedstock to power the project.
Development Status
The project construction is expected to commence from 2023. Subsequent to that it will enter into commercial operation by 2024.
Contractors Involved
GE Power is expected to render EPC services for the biopower project.
GE Power will be the steam turbine supplier for the project. The project consists of 1 steam turbine.
GE Power is likely to be the supplier of the steam boiler for the project.
Veolia Environnement is expected to perform operations and maintenance for the project for a period of 15 years.
