Amec Foster Wheeler has announced the development of a steam generator for a 299MW biomass-fired plant on Teesside, enabling the Teesside Renewable Energy Plant to become the world’s largest biomass-only power station. An Amec Foster Wheeler spokesperson says, “The Tees REP is a 299MW biomass power station that will burn wood chip and pellet to generate electricity for the equivalent of 600,000 homes, 24 hours a day. To be finished in 2020, the plant will burn wood chips imported from sustainable sources mostly from America and Europe, as well as pellets to generate electricity. The project is being developed by Scottish Renewables, which also owns the nearby North Sea wind farm.
