What is biomass based power plant?
The biomass power plant produces biogas from wood mainly comprising forest residue and then burns it to produce heat for power generation. The plant also provides 170MW of district heating. The power plant involved the construction of an advanced CFB gasifier and the modification of the existing coal boiler.
