Queen's Park Road Energy - 1.8 MW Biomass Power Plant in the United Kingdom

Queen's Park Road Energy is a biomass power plant located in the United Kingdom, with coordinates 53.7970° N, 2.2278° W. The facility has a capacity of 1.8 MW and uses waste as its primary fuel. It is owned and operated by Combined Landfill Projects (CLP) and is currently in operational status. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the United Kingdom, which includes the Environmental Permitting Regulations and the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) for biomass combustion. As a small-scale biomass facility, it is subject to emission limits for pollutants such as NOx, SOx, and particulates. The use of waste as fuel aligns with UK waste-to-energy policies and renewable energy targets. This facility contributes to local energy generation and waste management by converting waste into electricity. Its small capacity suggests it may serve a local community or industrial site. The plant's operation supports the UK's transition to low-carbon energy sources, though biomass combustion still produces CO2 emissions that are accounted for under national carbon budgets.

The plant uses waste as fuel, which reduces landfill volumes but generates emissions including CO2, NOx, and particulates. Its location in the United Kingdom means it must comply with strict emission standards under the Environmental Permitting Regulations. The small capacity (1.8 MW) limits its overall environmental footprint, but proximity to populated areas could raise local air quality concerns. Typical small-scale biomass plants use combustion or gasification technologies.
