Description
18 Megawatt Biomass Power Plant on Long Term Land Lease
Selling as a Package
Buena Vista Biomass Power (BVBP) is a Cogeneration Woodwaste-Fired Facility located 5 miles south of Ione California in Amador County. The plant is designed to produce approximately 18 megawatts of base-load electric generating capacity to the region. It assisted the state with reducing emissions from uncontrolled forestry and agriculture fires.
The plant was re-powered in 2012 to accept sustainable biomass waste wood instead of the lignite that the plant burned when it was originally built in the late 1990’s.
Video about Plant
The plant uses a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler that combusts biomass in a controlled manner, heats water to steam which then enters a turbine-generator to make electricity. One advantage of CFB boilers is that it is possible to combust very low moisture content fuel compared to a traveling grate design. Also, the design provides complete combustion which emits low air emissions.
The fuel for this plant is derived from a variety of sources including clean urban wood diverted from landfills, agricultural byproducts from orchard operations and forest sourced material generated as a byproduct of forest thinning projects that reduce fires.
