Renewable Energy Generation

Wind Energy:

We are highly experienced with the planning and development of wind energy schemes. We have managed the entire wind farm business of a Major UK PLC including the development of 6 wind energy projects with a total output of 100MWe, this included feasibility studies to full coordination of planning process from Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) wind resource assessments cumulating in full planning permission leading to financial close and construction.

Harworth Energy will work or partner with landowners and wind farm project developers to plan and execute projects for single or multiple turbine wind energy projects.

Anaerobic Digestion:

Harworth Energy are currently developing a food waste to energy project utilising the Anaerobic Digestion process.

This project will divert food waste currently sent to landfill and utilise it to produce renewable electricity and provide heat to neighbouring industry.

Our expertise in waste gas utilisation is being put to use to ensure the biomethane produced by the anaerobic digestion process is safely and efficiently utilised.

Solid Bio-fuels:

Harworth Energy have engineering and operational experience of the design and operation of boiler technology to combust a variety of solid wastes and renewable fuels including:

  • Olive oil cake
  • Short Rotation Coppice
  • Animal bone meal
  • Biomass
  • Miscanthus grass
  • Palm oil cake

Operational knowledge of the above fuel properties will allow the selection of the correct boiler technology, enabling high availability of simple cycle power generation.

Liquid Bio-fuels:

Engineers at Harworth Energy have undertaken the detailed technical and economic feasability study of a variety of liquid bio-fuels including:

  • Refined Palm Oil (RPO)
  • Crude Palm Oil (CPO)

The technical investigation included:

  • Detailed investigation into the most suitable prime mover to combust the fuel.
    • Modified medium speed (750 RPM) heavy duty diesels are well suited to this application
  • Design of fuel system to provide correct fuel viscosity, water content and corrosion resistance
  • Assessment of exhaust gas emissions and suitablity of NOx and particulate matter reduction
