Exclusive Site Visit

During the afternoon of the Tuesday, the 4th of October 2016 limited group of attendees will have unique opportunity to visit ENCE's Huelva biomass plant.

The 50 MW biomass-fired facility in Huelva consumes over 400,000 tonnes of biomass a year to produce 180 tonnes per hour of steam at a pressure of 100 bar and a temperature of 500 Degrees C, providing thermal energy that will enable the turbine to produce more than 400,000 MWh. There is no extra charge attending the site visit, although places are limited and allocated on the first come first served basis.

The plant was built according to the Best Available Techniques as recommended by the EU for the transport, storage and production of energy from biomass. These techniques include the system of selective non-catalytic reduction, which is a method for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions.
