Overview

Reservoir Road (Farm AD) is a 1.1 MW biomass power plant in the United Kingdom, operated by B and D Property Services Ltd/James Cromie. It is an operational facility contributing to renewable energy generation.

Reservoir Road (Farm AD) is a biomass power plant located in the United Kingdom, with coordinates 54.3203° N, -6.2893° W. The facility has a capacity of 1.1 MW and is classified as a small-scale biomass power plant. It is owned and operated by B and D Property Services Ltd/James Cromie and is currently operational. The plant uses biomass as its primary fuel, a renewable energy source derived from organic materials. In the United Kingdom, biomass power plants are regulated under the EU Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU and must comply with Best Available Techniques (BAT) conclusions for large combustion plants. However, given its small capacity, this facility may fall under less stringent permitting requirements. The UK also supports biomass through renewable energy incentives. As a small-scale biomass plant, Reservoir Road (Farm AD) contributes to local renewable energy generation and helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Its environmental impact is relatively low compared to larger facilities, but biomass combustion still emits CO2 and other pollutants. The plant's location in a rural area likely minimizes exposure to populated regions.

Environmental context

The plant uses biomass fuel, which is considered renewable but still produces CO2 emissions during combustion. Its small capacity of 1.1 MW results in a relatively low emissions footprint. The facility is located in a rural area, reducing potential impacts on densely populated regions. Biomass plants in the UK must comply with emission limits under the Industrial Emissions Directive, though smaller units may have simplified requirements.
