In the south-eastern part of Poland GDF SUEZ is going to replace of a coal-fired boiler at the Polaniec S.A. power plant by a new biomass fluidized bed boiler with a capacity of 480 megawatt.

The planned 180 MWe biomass power station is going to be the largest biomass power plant of the world.

Just for your records: the guys there are planning to destroy biomass in the amount of approximately 300 MW. As for any biomass power plant only 40% of the biomass chipped into the boiler will transform to electric energy.

60% of the biomass fired in the boiler will be for the nuts. This calculates to approximately 2 million cubes (m³) of waste wood to be destroyed without any use - even more, this 2 million cubes of wood will cause a tremendous amount of CO2 emissions caused by the transport of the biomass to Polaniec.

Crazy.
