Oak Grove Biomass Facility - Small-Scale Biomass Power Plant in the United Kingdom

Oak Grove Biomass Facility is a small-scale biomass power plant located in the United Kingdom, with coordinates 52.7686° N, 1.3564° E. Owned by Oak Grove Renewables, the facility has an operational status and a capacity of 2 MW, placing it in the small-scale category for biomass power generation. The plant uses biomass as its primary fuel, a renewable energy source that supports the UK's transition to low-carbon electricity. As a biomass facility, it operates under the UK's regulatory framework, including the Renewables Obligation and emissions standards set by the Environment Agency. The technology typically involves combustion of organic materials to generate steam for electricity production. This facility plays a role in the local energy mix, providing renewable power to the grid. Its small capacity suggests it may serve a local community or industrial site. The use of biomass helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels, though emissions from combustion are regulated to minimize environmental impact.

The facility's biomass fuel source produces CO2 emissions, but these are considered biogenic and part of the natural carbon cycle. Small-scale biomass plants often have localized air quality impacts. The UK's strict emissions regulations under the Environment Agency ensure compliance with limits on particulate matter and other pollutants.
