Vattenfall cancels biomass plant and turns to alternatives

Vattenfall cancels biomass plant and turns to alternatives
Energy supplier Vattenfall has cancelled its plans for a biomass plant in Diemen, Netherlands.

Instead, the Swedish government-owned entity is looking to other options.

These include geothermal energy and residual warmth, according a cooperation agreement between Vattenfall and several municipalities - as well as the provinces of  Noord-Holland and Flevoland.

Project development plans for the biomass facility had been ongoing for a few years.

An agreement had been reached for a 120 MW facility, which woulf have been fuelled by wood pellets.

In June 2019, Vattenfall had made agreements with municipalities, which would have benefited from the plant - with environmental permits secured that September.
