(Alliance News) - SIMEC Atlantis Energy Ltd on Monday said it has produced 100 tonnes of fuel pellets for large scale combustion testing.
In addition, the energy projects operator said it has completed large scale milling tests on the 100% waste derived fuel pellets, which are expected to be used at the Uskmouth power station in Wales, post conversion.
SIMEC is the owner of the 220 megawatts Uskmouth power station conversion project.
"The completion of the fuel production and the milling trials are a major milestone for this flagship conversion project and represent very important steps in the program towards financial close," explained Chief Executive Tim Cornelius.
Looking forward, the company said the next stage in the project will be for Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe GmbH to conduct final large-scale combustion trials to validate combustion system design. After that, SIMEC said it plans to conclude engineering, procurement & construction contract negotiations with project partners.
SIMEC shares were trading 4.2% higher in London on Monday at 10.94 pence each.
