About Biomass Feasibility Study

A biomass plant stands or falls on its fuel. The engineers behind this site test fuel supply, technology, grid access and the financial case for biomass power projects before money is committed to construction.

150+power projects in 45+ countries
25,000 MWcontracted since 2002
400+engineers and project managers

Why studies fail

Too many studies assume a fuel supply and price that never materialise, or pick a technology before the fuel has been sampled. The result is a plant that runs below capacity, or one that never runs at all.

The outcome

A decision you can defend: go ahead, change the concept or stop, backed by fuel data, a sound technology choice and a model a lender can follow.

Grounded in delivery

USP&E designs, builds and operates power plants, which means a feasibility study written by our team is grounded in how plants are actually delivered and run, not only in spreadsheets.

Our people and places

Study teams draw on engineers in London, South Africa, the United States and China, matching each project with people who know its region and technology.

Our approach

We aim to give clear answers early, including the answer that a project should not proceed. Owning the conclusion matters more to us than producing a thick report.

Questions we are asked

Do you only study projects you will build?

No. A study is independent of who builds the plant, and its value is in an honest answer.

What data should we have ready?

Fuel sources and volumes, any fuel test results, site details, grid information and the intended offtake.
