Biomass
At AMEC we have a proud history of the supply and delivery of biomass projects since 1948 to the present day. The major focus for biomass has traditionally been in North America, providing power in the forest industry business from wood waste. Projects have included co-firing with Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) and sewage sludge.
We have provided definition, conceptual and detailed design to construction services and, acting as owner’s engineer in a range of countries including Canada, US, Fiji, Chile, Uruguay, Czech Republic, Indonesia, Australia, Poland and the UK.
In the UK we are supporting the SUPERGEN Bioenergy research programme, aimed at delivering improved biomass processes, including biomass power, co-firing and bio-refineries. We also have applied our biomass and gasification knowledge to projects looking at the pyrolysis and gasification of waste to provide power and heat at the concept and front end design level of engineering.
AMEC is able to transfer and integrate our collective capabilities from our forest industry and power businesses and our knowledge in environmental, health and safety consultancy into the continued support of this market.
