Verdant Earth Technologies proposes to revive the long-idle Redbank power station in Warkworth, Australia, converting it from coal tailings to biomass fuel. The project involves a $70 million overhaul to run the 151-megawatt plant on around 700,000 tonnes of biomass annually, initially sourced from invasive native species and later from purpose-grown plantation crops. The project aims to restore f

Description
Description | Verdant Earth Technologies proposes to revive the long-idle Redbank power station in Warkworth, Australia, converting it from coal tailings to biomass fuel. The project involves a $70 million overhaul to run the 151-megawatt plant on around 700,000 tonnes of biomass annually, initially sourced from invasive native species and later from purpose-grown plantation crops. The project aims to restore firm power to the grid as coal-fired stations close. |
