Warren Quarry Landfill Gas Scheme - 1.9 MW Biomass Power Plant in the United Kingdom

Warren Quarry Landfill Gas Scheme is a biomass power plant located in the United Kingdom, specifically at coordinates 52.597800, -1.208600. With a capacity of 1.9 MW, it is a small-scale facility within the UK's renewable energy sector, converting landfill gas into electricity. The plant operates under the UK's regulatory framework, which includes emissions standards aligned with the EU Industrial Emissions Directive and national renewable energy incentives. Landfill gas technology typically involves internal combustion engines or gas turbines, and the plant benefits from the UK's support for renewable energy generation. As a landfill gas scheme, Warren Quarry plays a role in reducing methane emissions from waste decomposition while generating low-carbon electricity. Its output contributes to local grid supply and supports the UK's transition to a lower-carbon energy system.

The plant uses landfill gas, a renewable fuel derived from waste decomposition, which reduces methane emissions compared to flaring. With a capacity of 1.9 MW, it has a relatively low CO2 footprint for a power plant. Its location in the UK means it operates under strict environmental regulations, including emission limits for NOx and SOx. The facility's small scale and fuel source minimize local air quality impacts.
