BERLIN, Jan 20 (Reuters) - Germany's RWE, Europe's fifth-largest utility and top carbon emitter, is planning to cut its emissions in the EU by building a biomass facility in the U.S. to produce wood pellets for burning in a Dutch power plant.

The German power company will build a plant in Georgia for $170 million that will produce 750,000 tons of the wood pellets a year... The company will then ship the pellets to the Netherlands and fire them in the Amercentrale plant owned by its Dutch unit Essent, Birnbaum said.
