First jatropha-based CHP to start up in Belgium Filed from Singapore 6/4/2008 12:33:36 PM GMT Belgium MERKSPLAS, BELGIUM: Greenpower NV is expected to start-up the world's first combined heat and power (CHP) plant that will run on jatropha-based biofuel in Merksplas, Belgium, by February 2009. Greenpower NV has ordered the engine-driven CHP plant from Wärtsilä, a Finnish power solutions provider. The plant will be capable of producing 9 MW of electricity, sufficient to provide for about 20,000 households through the power grid. Heat from the plant will be used primarily for farming processes in nearby greenhouses. It will also be used in a drying process, which is part of a livestock farming manure digester plant that processes biogas and dry fertilizer material. Electricity will be sold to the grid. Greenpower NV is a joint venture between Belgian renewable energy developer, Thenergo, four local agricultural companies and a private investor. energycurrent.com
