A new green energy cogeneration plant at the Nippon Paper Industries, U.S.A., pulp and paper mill in Port Angeles, Wash., U.S.A., will feature a steam turbine generator supplied by GE Oil & Gas and powered by residue from local timber operations to generate 20 megawatts of power, becoming the first biomass project in the Port Angeles region of Washington state.
The steam turbine will be manufactured at the Thermodyn unit of GE Oil & Gas in Le Creusot, France and will be shipped to the project site in February 2012, with commercial operation scheduled for later that year. The plant will produce power and steam for use in the pulp and paper mill, with excess electricity sold to local power companies.
