South Korea, that has already established several biomass power plants, will construct a new biomass power plant to be fueled by cattle waste. To be located in Hoengseong, a town famous for Korean cattle known as Hanwoo, it will be the first biomass plant to use cattle waste as feedstock.
Korea East-west Power has already signed an MoU with Hoengseong County of Gangwon Province to build the 10MW power plant.
The plant is expected to save approximately 60,000 tons of fuel per year, translating to savings worth 15.8 billion won on energy imports.
Cow dung will be collected, dried and pelletised before it is used as feedstock in the biomass power plant.
The new plant will not only help produce renewable power, it will also solve issues of cattle waste processing, which otherwise is a major contributor to water contamination.
More on biomass power generation projects in South Korea as well as in North Asia will be discussed at 6th Biomass Pellets Trade & Power on 14-17 September, 2015 in Seoul.
