It was closed recently.  I don't know why.  Here is a pic of it in 2013.

"A subsequent signing of a Technical Cooperation “Expanding Bioenergy Opportunities in Guyana” between the Guyana Government and the Inter American Development Bank (IDB) paved the way for the development of the small scale Bioenergy Demonstration Project.

During that period, the world was grappling with inflating oil prices and simultaneously, the European Union’s decision to slash its preferential price for sugar to the African Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) by 36 percent; a decision which impacted negatively on Guyana’s sugar industry and long-term economic growth."

 

While this is/was a demonstration plant, closing it was a boneheaded decision. Would be very interesting to find out why it was closed.
