Lessons Learned from Existing Biomass Power Plants
(60 MW) and the lowest heat rate (11,700 Btu/kWh) of any biomassfired power plant. Biomasscofired coal plants can achieve slightly lower heat rates, as exemplified by Greenidge Station (11,000 Btu/kWh on the biomass portion of the fuel, compared to 9818 on coal alone). The least efficient plants in this report have heat rates of about 20,000
