Queens Park Energy: 1.9 MW Biomass Power Plant in the United Kingdom

Queens Park Energy is a biomass power plant located in the United Kingdom, with coordinates 53.7994, -2.2196. It has a capacity of 1.9 MW and operates using waste as its primary fuel, classifying it as a small-scale renewable energy facility within the UK's power generation sector. The plant operates under the UK's regulatory framework, which includes the Renewable Obligation and emissions standards aligned with the EU Industrial Emissions Directive. As a biomass facility, it utilizes waste-derived fuel, which helps reduce landfill use and provides a renewable energy source. The technology typically involves combustion or gasification to generate electricity. Queens Park Energy plays a role in the UK's transition to low-carbon energy, supporting local grid stability and waste management. Its small capacity makes it suitable for distributed generation, contributing to community-level energy needs and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

The plant's use of waste as fuel reduces methane emissions from landfills and provides a renewable energy source. Its small capacity minimizes local air quality impacts, though biomass combustion releases CO2 and particulates. The UK's stringent emissions regulations under the Environment Act ensure compliance with best available techniques for pollution control.
