Redbank Biomass Power Station Conversion
Sector: Raw Materials • Location: Redbank, New South Wales, Australia
Source: Renew Economy
The project involves converting the shuttered 151 MW Redbank coal power station into a biomass-burning facility. The plan includes spending $70 million to switch the fuel source from coal tailings to biomass, burning 700,000 tonnes of biomass annually sourced initially from invasive native species provided by farmers and eventually from plantation crops. The project aims to provide baseload power

Description
Description | The project involves converting the shuttered 151 MW Redbank coal power station into a biomass-burning facility. The plan includes spending $70 million to switch the fuel source from coal tailings to biomass, burning 700,000 tonnes of biomass annually sourced initially from invasive native species provided by farmers and eventually from plantation crops. The project aims to provide baseload power for the grid as aging coal plants close. |
