Description
The project is being developed by Anglesey Aluminium and Orthios Eco Parks Anglesey. The project is currently owned by Anglesey Aluminium.
The project is expected to supply enough clean energy to power 300,000 households, to offset 2,200,000t of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) a year. The project cost is expected to be around $1,429.41m.
The process of gasification will be adopted in this combined heat and power (CHP) project to release the stored energy from the feed. Wood by-product will be used as a feedstock to power the project.
