PNG biomass, Papua New Guinea
Name of the Project
PNG biomass.
Location
The project is located in the Markham valley, in Morobe province, Papua New Guinea.
Project Owner/s
PNG Biomass.
Project Description
PNG Biomass is a long-term renewable-energy initiative that will use woodchips from trees sustainably grown and harvested in surrounding plantations to fuel a 30 MW biomass power plant.
The power will be fed into the high-voltage Ramu transmission system.
The power plant’s generation capacity will be provided by two 15 MW power plant units, comprising two 18 MW steam boilers and two 18 MW steam turbines.
While the output from the steam turbine generator is set at 18 MW, about 3 MW will be used to run each power plant and process the wood into chips. Each 18 MW boiler and steam turbine set will export a net 15 MW to the grid.
Each boiler unit will be about 34 m tall and will use stoker-grate technology. Each boiler will consume up to 20 bone dry metric tonnes an hour of wood as fuel – about two truckloads of wet wood.
The power plant will keep several months of fuel on site to ensure continuous power supply.
