The proposed facility, with 750,000 metric tons a year of nameplate capacity, is due to begin operation in 2011. Construction is expected to begin in March or April.
The project will be carried out in collaboration with BMC Management AB, which specializes in development of biomass manufacturing solutions. It is based in Sweden.
“Through this new plant, RWE will be able to secure a supply of biomass at stable and competitive prices,” says Hans Bunting, a board member at RWE Innogy.
