[RenewableEnergyAccess.com] E.ON will begin building a 44 MW biomass power station in Lockerbie, Scotland, by the end of the year, with plans to provide 70,000 homes with power when it goes onstream in the end of 2007. The use of biomass will avoid approximately 140,000 tons of greenhouse gases every year; the investment totals approximately $157 million. The company, which claims this project to be the largest dedicated biomass power station in the UK, operates hydro, wind and biomass power stations throughout Europe with a total output of about 6 GW, near 10 percent of the total power production capacity of E.ON. With the UK energy policy's aim to produce 10 percent of total power from renewable energies by 2010, the market-oriented incentive system already created for this purpose could set a standard for a distinctly European blend of measures designed to enhance renewable energies.

I do not know wether how many sunny hours are in Lockerbie, but from the biomass
possible to save a great part with our new
invention. It is a forgetted systems the Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) which was
beginning about 25 years ago with "Molten Salt Solar Energy Towers" and "Parabolic Through System". In the last 5-6 years came the new small electricity-energy produce methods. But they are not combineable with biomass only the two mentioned systems, because all of them makes electricity by steam! Now we made a new invention which was published at
04.August, 2005!!! by the WIPO under the number of WO 2005 /071037, A1.
And we are working in Europe for a cheaper and better Concentrating Solar Power system. Our system makes electricity through steam by solar energy and therefore possible to combine it with biomass, in the rest time when Lockerbie has not sunny hours in the year. But the
saved material could be 25-30% and with this possible to arise the produced electricity.
