Dutch construction and engineering company Ballast Nedam is to be part of a consortium that will build a new biomass power plant in the port of Delfzijl in the Netherlands later this year.
Ballast Nedam will join forces with Germany’s Areva Renewables and with Finland’s Metso Power to build the 49 megawatt plant, which will produce energy from recycled waste wood chips—enough to meet the needs of 120,000 households.
The plant will be located alongside the maritime channel at Delfzijl and will begin operations in the summer of 2013.
