The Spanish energy and environment company Abengoa SA (ABG/P) is now scheduled to build one of Europe's largest biomass projects for Belgian Eco Energy NV. The 215-megawatt heat and power plant in Ghent will cost at least 315 million euros to develop and will use wood chips and agricultural residue as feedstock.
Abengoa opened its first facility that makes biofuel from crop waste, a $500 million plant in Kansas. The company also has biomass plants in Europe, Latin America and the U.S.
