Eco Factor: Biomass plant to generate 49KW of green electrical power.
Heatherwick Studio is designing a sustainable power plant that will run on biomass and generate up to 49MW of green electrical power. The project will be led by Bio Energy Investments and will be constructed on the banks of River Tees in Teesside.
The project will be able to power up to 50,000 homes and save 140,000 tons of CO2 from being emitted, through the use of carbon neutral woodchip. Additionally, River Tees will also house another £200 million biomass power station developed by Gaia Power and designed by URS.
