Tullis Russell and RWE npower Cogen are to build a 45 mW biomass Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant at Markinch, in Scotland. The new facility will replace the existing coal fired plant and should be in operation by 2011.
The plant, which will generate six per cent of Scotland’s renewable generation targets, will reduce Tullis Russell’s annual carbon emissions by 250,000 t and make the company a genuine low carbon producer for the card, cover and premium packaging markets.
RWE npower Cogen are the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) division of RWE npower and currently own 11 CHP plants on key customer sites supplying power and heat to industrial customers in the oil, paper and chemical sectors.
