  • Pembroke Power Station Environmental Permit
    Environment Agency appropriate assessment: Pembroke Power Station Environmental Permit Report – Final v 2.5 - 1 - PROTECT - Environmental Permit EA/EPR/DP3333TA/A001 Executive summary Purpose An ‘Appropriate Assessment’ (AA) as required by Regulation 61 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations (in accordance with the Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC), has been carried out on the application for an environmental permit for a 2100 MW natural gas-fired combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power station, near Pembroke. This Appropriate Assessment is required before the Environment Agency can grant an Environmental Permit and consider the implications of the environmental permit on the Pembrokeshire Marine / Sir Benfro Forol Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Afonydd Cleddau / Cleddau Rivers SAC. Approach The purpose of the AA is to ensure that the granting of an environmental permit does not result in damage to the natural habitats and species present on sites protected for their important wildlife. In this sense, the AA is similar to an environmental impact assessment with special focus on wildlife of international and national importance. In technical terms an, AA is a legal requirement to determine whether activities (not necessary for nature conservation) could adversely affect the integrity of the conservation site(s), either alone or in combination with other activities, and given the prevailing environmental conditions. It is required before the Agency, as a competent authority, can grant permission for the project. An adverse effect on integrity is one that undermines the coherence of a sites ecological structure and function, across its whole area, that enables the site to sustain the habitat, complex of habitats and/or levels of populations of the species for which the site is important.

  • RWE Is Ready to Support the UK's Hydrogen Strategy
    Press release RWE is ready to support the UK’s Hydrogen Strategy • Company well placed to contribute to establishing low carbon hydrogen production and consumption in the UK • RWE forging ahead with 30 hydrogen projects in the UK, Germany and the Netherlands Swindon, 17 August 2021 Sopna Sury, COO Hydrogen RWE Generation: “RWE welcomes the release of the UK Government’s Hydrogen Strategy. We are well positioned across the entire hydrogen value chain in Europe and stand ready to support the delivery of the strategy. Our hydrogen development projects in the UK are sitting at the heart of RWE’s ambition to become climate neutral by 2040. Hydrogen is critical to decarbonising the UK, starting with industrial applications.” RWE, one of the globally leading companies in renewables and one of the key players in setting up the hydrogen economy, welcomes today’s publication of the UK Hydrogen Strategy. Today’s strategy and launch of consultations is a huge step forward and RWE encourages the Government to set even more ambitious targets to facilitate the UK’s hydrogen economy. The company is thoroughly analysing the proposals and will be responding to the accompanying consultations in due course. Hydrogen will be key to the decarbonisation pathway and as a partner to industry, RWE is part of that solution. As a UK leader in power generation, RWE is perfectly positioned to support the development of the UK hydrogen economy. Thanks to its large renewable power portfolio, the company can supply a considerable amount of zero-carbon energy to produce green hydrogen. Furthermore, the company’s own gas-fired power stations are a potential off-taker for hydrogen, while RWE can provide expertise in gas storage facilities and supply to industrial customers.

This is a significant milestone in terms of providing clarity and certainty for government, business and stakeholders with regard to Wales’ pathway to a low-carbon society . The energy system is undergoing significant change, with generation and delivery becoming more distributed in the communities and regions where the energy is used . We also anticipate this transition increasing the interaction between previously separate uses of energy, connecting power, transport and heat networks in new and different ways . As these different energy vectors decarbonise, there is a continuing role for renewable energy deployment . The renewable energy targets I set last year demonstrate Wales’ ambition to develop and support current and new forms of renewable energy .

  • Wales Energy and Sustainability Committee Inquiry Into Energy Policy and Planning in Wales
    Environment and Sustainability Committee Inquiry into Energy Policy and Planning in Wales EPP 156 - RWE npower and npower renewables Wales Energy and Sustainability Committee Inquiry into Energy Policy and Planning in Wales Submission from RWE npower and npower renewables This submission is from RWE npower and RWE npower renewables, part of the RWE group, a German owned energy business, generating electricity and supplying gas, electricity and related services to customers across the UK through RWE npower and renewable energy through RWE npower renewables. We are one of the largest inward investors in Wales where our current portfolio comprises a large coal-fired power station, two combined heat and power plants and numerous renewable energy schemes including both onshore and offshore wind and hydro generation. We are also a 50 per cent shareholder (with E.ON UK) in Horizon Nuclear Power to develop the option to build and operate a new nuclear power station at Wylfa. This would represent an investment of around £8bn. Other investments include: - construction of Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm (circa £2bn) - construction of a new high efficiency gas fired power station at Pembroke (circa £1bn) - development of the proposed Atlantic Array offshore wind farm (circa £4.5bn) - development of a demonstration array of tidal stream turbines off the Anglesey coast. In total, our current Welsh capacity represents around a third of the electricity consumed in Wales and, equally important, our investments create local employment opportunities, economy and community benefits. We currently have over 350 employees based in Wales. Where feasible we will recruit and train people from the local community and to procure services locally.

  • LNG 17 Presentation, Rev 0
    INTRODUCTION TO SOUTH HOOK COMBINED HEAT AND POWER (CHP) PROJECT David P. O’Brien ExxonMobil Power and Gas Services Youssef Hegazy, PhD Qatar Petroleum International Didier Vergez TOTAL ABSTRACT South Hook LNG Terminal sponsors, Qatar Petroleum International, ExxonMobil and Total, are evaluating an innovative concept of building a combined heat and power plant (CHP) at the terminal. This integrated concept would improve heat efficiency resulting in a reduction of fuel use and regional CO2 emissions by greater than 20% as compared to vaporizing LNG and generating the power separately. Commissioned in March 2009, South Hook LNG Terminal at Milford Haven, Wales, enhances UK energy diversity and security with the ability to deliver 2.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas daily into the national grid. In the current LNG vaporization process, natural gas is consumed as fuel to gasify the liquid LNG. The combined heat and power project, which is currently being evaluated by the terminal sponsors, is aimed to replace vaporization fuel use with the residual heat of the power plant. The heat generated by the gas combustion in the power plant would be used three times to maximize efficiency: (1) direct combustion in a gas turbine to produce electricity, (2) exhaust from the gas turbine generates steam to drive a steam turbine for additional electricity, and finally, (3) residual low grade heat from the steam turbine is used to vaporize the LNG. The key project challenges are developing the integrated design and engineering the LNG combustion vaporizers to ensure effective use of the heat.
