This plant burns wood in various forms whether it is fresh chip. recycled wood or the by product of forest works. the regulations are very high regarding emissions. I was once the senior operator here for a few years.. it provides 16 Megawatts of electricity straight to the national grid network.
Yes. That’s a larger site which also burns wood but has a more efficient system and can burn a lesser grade of wood. Both are extremely green as the exhaust systems have a very low carbon monoxide output. The by product is an ash which is high in nitrogen and is used for fertiliser in farming as it’s a naturally produced product.
The “hoppers” you mentioned are actually the dust collectors at the end of the process. The feed is at the other end of the main building. The large building is the main wood chip storage barn and walking floor to feed the conveyor systems
Oh my goodness 😮. What you get up to when the painters aren’t in 🤔🤦♂️. Are you trying to audition for HSE ? I would love to hear your experience of engineering work’ and how many decades you worked in industry like many others like myself that have no time to do this.
This just popped up on my YT suggestions. My understanding is some BioMass plants were intended to compliment the forestry industry by burning the brash (small branches and mulch) - that's how they got planning permission. I'm not saying this site relates to that criteria but looks like perfectly good timber being burned which to me doesn't seem right. If there is an energy expert reading this comment perhaps you can explain to me how burning wood is different to burning other fossil fuels, also, at the rate BioMass plants are currently operating how is this industry sustainable? To me there appears a similarity to what happened 40 years ago with the planting of dense conifer woodlands, wealth and tax breaks which is now widely acknowledged as habitat exploitation and had a negative impact on our environment. Good drone footage, informative journalism here.
@ssergorp7105 thanks for the detailed comment. 👍 I got chatting off camera to a driver, this site is dirty wood, my previous video is the recycled wood?? Check it out of you haven't already...inparticular this site is tree disease culling...👍👍

@hugolloyd1973 awesome.. I want to visit the sites where the wood gets chipped? I'm not sure where, I've been told Newport, but I'm not sure 🤔
@@Anonymousaudits some gets chipped on site from log delivery. The chipped wood is recycled material from various parts of the UK.
Wood chip that they import from Canada very green!
@@clivewiddall3430 you sure? Drivers say uk trees that have disease 😒
I've taken in clean pallet woodchip (inside) from Newport, they mix it up with wet trees wood chip and then burn it
Anything wood as long as it hasn't got glue in it
@carl5652 ah right. Cool, you one of the drivers there?
The un-named road is PUBLIC.
@@Ubique2927 haha 😄

It is on Find my street.
@Ubique2927 yes, ok I didn't check on this video but thought it was.. thanks 👍👍
There is a Severn Trent Green Power South Wales AD Facility at Parc Stormy, Stormy Down Porthcawl Bridgend.
@WelshLad. oh nice, could be worth a shout that...
@@Anonymousaudits Yes it's worth a look mate here's the location maps.app.goo.gl/uXyUEECLadQ1BAq2A
Why do people not know that fences are where they are for a reason?
