O-Gen Plymtrek Ltd

Project Description

In early 2011, a strategic partnership for the South West was formed between MITIE Asset Management, O-Gen and the UNA Group. The consortium agreed a plan to develop five facilities in the South West with the first site being in a £65m energy from waste centre, located in the manufacturing district of Roborough,
Plymouth

A 40,000 tonne energy centre that will treat wood waste and supply both heat and power through a gasification process

The facility will generate around 26,000 MWh of electricity a year which will reduce CO2 emissions by around 16,500 tonnes a year compared to grid supply.
