World’s largest biomass-fired power plant
The world’s largest greenfield and completely biomass-fired power plant is to be built in Ghent, Belgium. The 215 MW Belgian Eco Energy (BEE) plant, to be built by GE, will be powered by wood chips and agro residues.
The new plant also will be connected to a district heating system of around 110 MW thermal energy to supply heating to industries and households in the city. Commercial operation is planned for 2019.
