PROJECT
EUROPE WITH AFRICA
Spain’s Transport Minister, Oscar Puente, has indicated that a 17.2-mile underwater tunnel linking Spain with Africa will become a reality within the next 20 years. This Fixed Link Project for the Strait of Gibraltar was first discussed 40 years ago and is seen as a strategic key for both Spain and Morocco, as well as Europe and Africa.
The project is likely to include a high-speed rail link stretching for about 26 miles. A 17.2-mile-long underwater tunnel and a 6.3-mile underground tunnel are also being proposed, reports Moroccan state-owned media SNRTNews. As of 2023, the completion of Morocco’s first national high-speed rail line from Casablanca to Tangiers has led to renewed interest in a tunnel that would connect the line to Spain’s own high-speed network. It has been suggested that the tunnel might reach a maximum depth of 1,558 feet and that construction could take around 15 years.
“
Once built the tunnelk complex would need two major electricity substations to be built. These would be connected to the Moroccan and Spanish grids to supply the 25,000 volts on a daily basis for railway traction and the 21,000 volts (three-phase) needed for other fixed equipment.
THIS WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE ONE OF THE GREATEST CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS OF THE 21ST CENTURY.”
Electrical power supplying the tunnels, drainage pumps, lighting and the trains, could be provided by substations located on each side of the Strait of Gibraltar. This means In the event of any loss of power from one side, the entire system can be supplied from the other nation’s grid.
A second scenario involves a crossing between Point Oliveros and Point Cires: this plan features deep piers and a length of 14 kilometres (9 miles), a number of 910-metre-tall (3,000 ft) towers, and a 5,000-metre (16,000-foot) span, more than twice the length of the current longest bridge span. According to OPAC this bridge project will cost around US$15 billion.
The Strait depth extends to 900 metres (3,000 ft) on the shortest tunnel route, although it is only about 300 metres deep slightly further west, in a region known as the Camarinal Sill; the European and African tectonic plates meet around this area.
The shortest crossing is 14 kilometres (8.7 mi). The favoured route covers 23 kilometres (14 miles) and is located west of Tarifa and to the east of Tangier. The tunnel is likely to be about 34 kilometres (21 miles) in all. It is proposed that a connection would have to be made to the Spanish high speed railway network, which has a line projected to be built from Cádiz to Málaga via Algeciras.
The entire construction project - spanning almost two decades - would require a vast array of gensets - both land and marine-based.
Last month Spain’s Transport Minister, Óscar Puente has said that a date would be set “as soon as possible” for a meeting focused on plans for the Fixed Link Project.

BIOMASS NEWS FROM ACROSS THE WORLD
IN BRIEF
BIOMASS USE IS ON THE RISE IN THE UK
A report by the UK’s National Audit Office has revealed that in 2022, biomass-fuelled power stations accounted for 11% of total UK electricity generation, an increase of around eight percentage points compared with 2010.
Much of this power comes from biomass stations at Drax and Lynemouth, which have generating capacities of 2,580 Megawatts (MW) and 420 MW respectively. These large biomass power stations typically burn wood pellets, 9.1 million tonnes of which were imported into the UK. The use of biomass to generate heat has increased significantly as well, more than doubling between 2010 and 2021 to account for 6.4% of UK heat generation. In 2022, 66% of biomass used in UK heat, electricity and transport was from domestic sources.
BIOMASS FUEL PLANT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN NORTH VIETNAM
COSTA RICA SEEKS TO BECOME A KEY BIOMASS ENERGY HUB BY 2030
Plans for the construction of biomass-fuelled power plants with a collective capacity of 412MW, harnessed by an estimated investment of $539 million (€493 million), have been announced by the Costa Rican authorities.
The focus of these new power plants developments is on three areas: biomass, wind and solar resources. Costa Rica’s Environment and Energy Minister, Franz Tattenbach, has said he intends to incentivise the adoption of biomass-generated energy.
The planned installations will deliver 270 MWs from solar sources, 122MW from wind sources, and 20MW from biomass sources.
Development will be spearheaded by the Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE) in collaboration with public-private partnerships. This initiative underscores ICE’s proactive push toward bolstering renewable energy infrastructure, with the aim of commencing operations within the next two years, according to the organisation.
Costa Rica currently has a surplus of key agricultural biomass which includes potential fuel such as oilseed grains and starch (wheat, barley, oats, rye, corn, sunflower, rapeseed, and soybeans), sugar beet, straw residues, tree pruning and orchards, pasture stakes not used for food purposes, roadside biomass, byproducts and waste from the food and fruit processing industry.
The Erex Sakura Tuyen Quang biomass fuel plant biomass plant is currently under construction in Vietnam’s northern Tuyen Quang province.
Once operational in 2025, it will produce 150,000 tonnes of biomass pellets and 150,000 tonnes of wood chips per year. Wood pellets for biomass plants will be a primary product.
The project is anticipated to contribute to addressing issues like environment pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, while promoting the sustainable development of biomass energy industry in Tuyen Quang.
Honna Hitoshi, president and representative director of Erex JSC, said the project contributes to realising Vietnam’s net emission reduction policy, providing stable electricity and meeting the economic development needs of Vietnam and Tuyen Quang in particular.
Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Son urged departments and agencies to work closely with the Japanese investor - Erex JSC - to step up the plant construction.
The Tuyen Quang region currently has 20 active projects involving 17 foreign investors, with a total investment exceeding US$340 million (€312 million). It also benefits from the support of numerous international partners, with the Japanese groups extending their involvement in 25 projects across VietNam.
Nationally, biomass resources includes rice husks from paddy milling stations, bagasse from sugar factories, coffee husk from coffee processing plants in the Central Highlands and wood chips from wood processing industries. Vietnam has a target of having a capacity of 2,000MW in 2030 achieved via biomass fuels.
BIOMETHANE GAS SUPPLY FROM LITHUANIA IS DESTINED FOR GERMANY’S MARKETS
The AUGA group, AB and its subsidiaries is well-known for developing sustainable agricultural technologies and solutions. The company has begun supplying biomethane gas through a natural gas system operated by the gas transmission system operator Amber Grid, AB.
Produced in Lithuania, the gas will be sold on the German market, which the company said operates the most developed biomethane infrastructure in Europe.
The project capacities of three biogas power plants will allow for the generation of 61,000 megawatt hours of gas per year. The group of companies has agreed a deal to supply biomethane gas to Tube Green, UAB.
Biomethane gas is currently being transported into the natural gas system using the company’s gas intake point.
This is a relatively new development: biomethane gas has been supplied to the natural gas system via a remote intake point not directly connected to the gas production facility only since the end of 2023, reports the company.
“Although we have been able to start producing biomethane gas for some time, laws of the Republic of Lithuania did not envisage the supply of such gas through an intake point separate from the production facility,” explains Kęstutis Juščius, the current chairman of the Board of AUGA.

At the same time, the growing popularity of outdoor activities, such as camping and tailgating, which require portable power sources for appliances and electronic devices is also a significant factor driving the growth of the market.
Several portable generator solution providers are increasingly focusing on developing dual-fuel capable portable solutions to offer customers an efficient portable solution.
For instance, In May 2022, Generac Power Systems, Inc., an energy technology solution provider, introduced two new dual-fuel capable Powermate portable generators such as the Powermate 7500 Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator and Powermate 4500 Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator.
Both variants are intended to run on either gasoline or compressed natural gas. The Powermate 4500 Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator has 4,500 starting watts and 3,600 operating watts (gas), making it powerful enough to power small electrical appliances at any campground or picnic spot while also being versatile enough to power equipment for home-based chores.
In recent years, there has been a significant rise in the instances of power outages in the U.S. owing to extreme weather conditions. With climate change leading to more frequent and severe weather events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires, power grids are being increasingly challenged to keep up with the demands of a changing climate.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s annual power industry report of 2021, the average electricity customer was without power for 7 hours and 20 minutes that year, with more than 5 of those hours (72%) attributed to major weather events such as hurricanes, wildfires, and snowstorms. As a result, there is a growing need for backup power solutions, such as portable generators, to help keep
“THERE IS A GROWING NEED FOR BACKUP POWER SOLUTIONS, SUCH AS PORTABLE GENERATORS, TO HELP KEEP HOMES AND BUSINESSES POWERED DURING OUTAGES.”
homes and businesses powered during outages.
Solar-based portable generators are used in emergencies, providing a reliable power source during power outages or other disasters.
With climate change becoming an increasing concern, consumers are looking for renewable and sustainable alternatives to traditional gasoline generators, and solar-based portable generators fit the bill perfectly.
While they may be more expensive upfront than traditional gasoline generators, solar-based portable generators can save cost over time, as they do not require fuel and have minimal ongoing maintenance costs.
Additionally, the increasing popularity of outdoor activities, such as camping and tailgating, has created a demand for portable power solutions that can be used in remote locations where access to traditional power sources may be limited.
The demand for portable generators powered by biofuel, a sustainable energy source, has increased as awareness of global warming has increased.
Due to its chemical similarities to petroleum-based fuels, biofuel can be used as a straight replacement for diesel fuel.
Moreover, biofuel gives nations like Japan and Italy - which buy natural gas and petroleum from other nations - energy independence.
Canola, soybean, corn, leftover cooking oil, and animal fats may all be utilized to make biofuels.
Hence, the participants in the market for portable generator would benefit from the rising demand for generators that run on biofuel. However, key reasons constraining market expansion are stringent environmental restrictions aimed at reducing carbon emissions.
The petrol generator segment dominated the market in 2022 and accounted for more than 42.0% share of the global revenue.
The driving factors for the petrol based portable generator market include their affordability, versatility, and convenience.
Petrol generators are often less expensive than other types of backup power solutions, making them a popular choice for consumers on a budget.

SIX SOUNDPROOFED GENERATOR SETS SUPPLIED TO A DATA CENTRE IN NORWAY
Adata centre in Norway needed six reliable generator sets and turned to Genesal Energy for the required cutting-edge engineering and experienced personnel. Six generator sets were needed to power the emergency network belonging to this key data centre. The six generator sets were specially designed to withstand Norway’s low temperatures.
The customer asked for 11MW of backup power for the data centre, designed according to TIER III criteria. A data centre with TIER III means it has multiple paths for power and cooling, and redundant systems which allow the staff to work on the setup without taking it offline. This tier has an expected uptime of 99.982% per year.
A TIER III data centre is a concurrently maintainable facility with multiple distribution paths for power and cooling. Unlike TIER I and II data centres, a TIER III facility does not require a total shutdown during maintenance or equipment replacement.
A TIER III facility requires all the components present in a TIER II data centre, but these facilities must also have N+1 availability:
“N” refers to the necessary capacity to support the full IT load. +1” stands for an extra component for backup purposes. N+1 redundancy ensures an additional component starts operating if the primary element runs into a failure or the staff removes the part for planned maintenance.
Tier III data centres also require a backup solution which can keep operations running in case of a local or region-wide power outage. The facility must ensure equipment can continue to operate for at least 72 hours following an outage. TIER III setups are said to offer a significant jump in availability when compared to lower ratings.
“A DATA CENTRE IN NORWAY REQUIRED SIX GENERATOR SETS AND TURNED TO GENESAL ENERGY FOR THE REQUIRED CUTTING-EDGE ENGINEERING & EXPERIENCED PERSONNEL. SIX GENERATOR SETS WERE NEEDED TO POWER THE EMERGENCY NETWORK BELONGING TO THIS KEY DATA CENTRE. THE SIX GENSETS WERE SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND NORWAY’S LOW TEMPERATURES.”
Data Centres or Data Processing Centres (DPCs) are facilities which house complex and modern IT equipment, from computers to storage or network systems, where any electrical failure can lead to a catastrophe due to the large amount of information managed in the facility which is put at risk.
For this reason, it is imperative that the electrical supply in these facilities is continuous and uninterrupted.
In terms of system availability, Uptime Institute created the TIER rating system to assess data centre infrastructure. The classification starts at DPC TIER I used for small businesses, up to TIER IV, used in large corporations.
At the TIER III data centre site in Norway, heat recovery was achieved by means of a heat exchanger system in the engine, explains Genesal Energy.
Six 2250-2500 kVA soundproofed generator sets were supplied in a 40foot long HC container ready to work
in permanent parallel with the grid. Two gensets were designed with the power output on the right-hand side and four sets, symmetrical to the first two, with the power output on the left-hand side, which facilitated the installation of the power cabling, reports the company.

PRE-ELECTION BUDGET ‘MISSED OPPORTUNITY TO DECARBONISE INDUSTRY’
Reflecting on the Chancellor of the Exchequer 2024 Spring Budget the ADE’s Industrial Energy Policy Officer, Oz Russell, said: “We commend the focus on connections reform in this budget given its centrality to increasing growth and decarbonising industry.
“However, with an election around the corner and a report published this week using the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) figures that shows the UK is spending the least among the top five major European economies on lowcarbon energy policy, this budget represents a missed opportunity to provide much-needed support to industry on issues like electrification and decarbonisation infrastructure outside of the industrial clusters.”
The UK’s opportunity
The UK has a real opportunity to become a global leader on heat networks – we just need to seize it.
This was the suggestion from Vattenfall Heat UK, the official supporter of the Association for Decentralised Energy’s (ADE) annual Winter Reception, which took place in the House of Commons on Wednesday 21st February.
The room full of ADE members, political stakeholders and other industry leaders gathered together to explore the theme of “Shared Visions, Sustainable Futures: Delivering a just transition for net zero”, with a particular focus on the future of heat network expertise, technology and deployment.
The scaling up of heat networks will play a key role in the UK reaching net zero –at the moment, they supply around 2% of the UK’s heating, a figure that must increase to 20% by 2050 to align with targets. Strategic planning and long-term investment are key to the success of city-

‘Fastest Man on Earth’
Green is the current holder of the world land speed record, and the first person to break the sound barrier on land. On 25 September 1997 in ThrustSSC he beat the previous record in Black Rock Desert, US, reaching a speed of 714.144 miles per hour (1,149.303 km/h). On 15 October 1997, 50 years and 1 day after the sound barrier was broken in aerial flight by Chuck Yeager, Green reached 763.035 miles per hour (1,227.986 km/h), the first supersonic record (Mach 1.016). His call sign was “Dead Dog”. As the vehicle crossed the speed of sound it created a sonic boom..

CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM ABOUT MARKET
GROWTH IN EUROPE, COMMENTS
ROMAIN MOCAER
Romain Mocaer of EuropGen comments: “ Last year 2023 appeared to be a transition year for generators below 750 kVA. After more than 2 years of post-COVID recovery, and double-digit growth (+22% in 2021, +15% in 2022).
“2023 grew at a lower rate (+6%), but above all experienced a much weaker second half of the year, with a slight decrease is expected this year in 2024.”
“Indeed, the main drivers of growth are currently at a standstill, even if large disparities exist depending on the region and segment.
In Romain Mocaer’s view, one of the big differences between 2022 and 2023 is the stock levels at distributors. In just a few months, the market went from a situation where demand was much higher than supply (long lead times, shortage of components) to a situation where supply proved higher than demand.
The market in Europe was boosted in 2022 by Ukrainian imports and fears of an energy crisis and the situation has had a significant negative impact on the market at the end of 2023 and 2024.
On a global scale, the main market drivers for sub 750 kVA generator sets are the industrial and construction sector, the Telecom market, agriculture, rental and residential generators.
The market is expected to take a break in Europe, after 2 years of post-COVID recovery where rental companies have invested massively in new fleets, and the outlook for the construction market calls for great caution.
In North America, the mobile market seems to be holding steady at very high levels however.
ITALCOGENDEALING WITH MANUFACTURERS & DISTRIBUTORS
Italcogen – Association and manufacturers and distributors of cogeneration plants
It gathers within ANIMA CONFINDUSTRIA manufacturers and distributors of cogeneration systems, heat recovery and fuel cells in Italy.
Within Italcogen all cogeneration technologies are represented, both powered by fossile fuels, both by biomasses.
The sector represents thus an important branch of Italian supply chain of energy efficiency and technologies for attaining 2030 environmental goals.
A spokesman for the association comments: “All cogeneration technologies are represented, both powered by fossil sources and by biomass. The sector now represented by the association produces a turnover of €500 million with an export/turnover share of 18%. It therefore represents an important branch of the Italian chain of energy efficiency and technologies for achieving environmental objectives by 2030.
“The market shares of our members represent peaks of excellence in some specific sectors of bioenergy, covering 85% of the Italian market for liquid biomass plants and for small-sized solid biomass plants (<3 MW); more than 80% of the European market and a national and European position relevant to the biogas sector.”
Italcogen’s mission and goal is to promote the diffusion of cogeneration and thermal recovery in Italy, providing its member-companies with timely and constant support in the technical, regulatory-legislative and promotional fields to represent technologies and clarify the regulations governing the sector.

UNVEILING OF A RADICALLY NEW HYBRID POWERPLANT DESIGN
Holtec International has announced the development of a new power plant design which will integrate the use of nuclear and solar energy.
The Combined Nuclear/Solar Plant (CNSP) will combine Holtec’s SMR-300 small modular reactor (SMR) design with its HI-THERM HSP solar thermal system and Green Boiler technology to provide base load or on-demand power to address the intermittency challenges associated with solar plants.
Dr. Kris Singh, President & CEO of Holtec, comments: “This is a compelling solution for nations to move past fossil fuels.”
The most immediate application of the CNSP technology is to repower existing coal-fired plants, which typically have sufficient land to house the CNSP, and utilise the coal plant’s existing power block to minimise transition costs.
The steam production portion of the coal plant would be decommissioned, freeing up most of the land where the solar plant would reside. Holtec plans to offer the CNSP technology principally in those regions of the world where solar radiation level is adequate to be harvestable.
Solar energy will contribute to the CNSP through the HI-THERM HSP hybrid solar plant, offering enhanced efficiency, and yielding up to 8 MWH of solar heat per acre in equatorial and subtropical regions.
The Green Boiler integrates the nuclear reactor’s steam supply system and heat from the solar thermal plant, functioning as a multi-purpose device to produce steam at the desired pressure and superheat, effectively powering the coal plant’s existing turbogenerator. The CNSP will eliminate the need for batteries, says the company, addressing a common challenge in the renewable energy sector, and is designed with robust materials, ensuring a service life in excess of 60 years. holtecinternational.com
