16 June 2008 - UK energy minister Malcolm Wicks has given the go-ahead to Helius Energy plc to construct a 65 MW biomass power station near Stallingborough in North East Lincolnshire, England.

When it is built, the plant could produce enough green energy to power the equivalent of about 100 000 homes.

It is expected to provide approximately 267 full time jobs during the construction phase and 75 permanent full time jobs working a shift pattern when the plant is running.

The power station will initially be fuelled by waste wood, specially grown crops and the leftovers from timber processing activities sourced from the UK and Europe.

Planning permission has also been granted to build an additional biomass processing facility and bioethanol and biodiesel refinery.

The intention is that spent grains from the bioethanol plant and glycerol from the biodiesel plant will eventually be used as the fuel feedstock for the power station.
