Overview

Heathfield 'C' Landfill Scheme is a 2.2 MW biomass power plant in the United Kingdom, operated by Haul Waste Limited. It generates electricity from waste fuel.

Heathfield 'C' Landfill Scheme is a biomass power plant located in the United Kingdom, with a capacity of 2.2 MW. The facility is owned and operated by Haul Waste Limited and is currently operational. As a small-scale biomass plant, it contributes to the UK's renewable energy generation from waste sources. The plant operates under the UK's regulatory framework for power generation, which includes emissions standards set by the Environment Agency. Biomass plants in the UK must comply with the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) and the Renewable Energy Directive, ensuring sustainable fuel sourcing and emission controls. The facility's small capacity suggests it may use landfill gas or other waste-derived fuels. This plant plays a role in the UK's waste-to-energy sector, converting waste into electricity and reducing methane emissions from landfills. It supports local grid stability and contributes to the country's renewable energy targets. The facility's location in Devon provides power to the surrounding area.

Environmental context

The plant uses waste as fuel, which helps divert waste from landfills and reduces methane emissions. Its small capacity (2.2 MW) limits its overall environmental footprint. The facility is subject to UK emissions regulations, including limits on NOx, SOx, and particulates. Typical biomass plants are sited near waste sources.
