Summary

Eastcroft EfW (Lines 1 & 2), located in Nottingham has been operated by FCC Environment since 1998. A Eastcroft EfW (3rd Line) is the addition of third line with a new boiler and combustion system for this facility which, if constructed, would add a capacity of 140,000 tpa of waste to the existing capacity provided by lines 1 & 2[1]. The additional third line was initially granted planning permission in February 2009 for 100,000 tpa, but a new planning consent was granted in 2016 allowing the extension to provide 140,000 tpa of additional capacity[2].

The facility is operated under a three party agreement between FCC Environment, Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council, with the waste capacity provided by all three[3].

Technology

The extension line will utilise conventional combustion technology.

This EfW produces stream as an output from the recovery process, that is then delivered to public buildings and 4,600 domestic premises in Nottingham through a pipeline to EnviroEnergy Limited, a company wholly owned by the city council. Any excess steam is used to produce electricity to meet the power demands of the plant and to be fed into the grid[3].

Construction

Awaiting confirmation details from FCC Environment. The Eastcroft EfW website states that construction was expected to commence in 2020[4], although the annual report by FCC states that the construction had not commenced in 2021.

Waste Input

The primary feedstock will mainly be Municipal Solid Waste derived locally from Nottingham[3].
