Abstract

The Tyseley Energy Park’s (TEP) mission is to transform clean energy innovation by stimulating and demonstrating new technologies, turning them into commercially viable systems contributing to Birmingham City Council’s commitments to be Net Zero (NZ) by 2030.

TEP’s development plan commits to delivering low and zero carbon power, transport, heat, waste and recycling solutions delivered through development phases: 10 MW Waste Wood Biomass Power Plant, a £47 million investment, supplies renewable electricity to Webster and Horsfall, the original site owner, along with tenants across this 17-acre site, providing the foundations for a distributed energy system. The Waste Wood Biomass Power Plant diverts 72,000 tonnes of waste wood from landfill with the sustainable power generated equivalent to 17,000 homes’ requirements. Later, phases have seen the development of the UK’s first low and zero carbon refuelling station with the hydrogen station supplying public and commercial vehicles with hydrogen for Birmingham’s bus fleet. Partners on site are in the process of bringing forward a first-of-a-kind commercial scale electric charging station supply liquid fuels including drop in replacements for diesel such as hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) is also avaliable.

On site, the University of Birmingham has created a sustainable energy research and innovation centre that promotes innovation in waste, energy and low carbon vehicle systems across the West Midlands.

Within refurbished building on site, the Incubation Hub offers an integrated package of support to drive business growth amongst low-carbon energy businesses. This initiative has been developed in partnership with the University of Birmingham’s Energy Institute’s SME Engagement Programme.
