History

The project reached financial close in October 2018, with BWSC beginning construction in November 2018. Construction and commissioning is scheduled to end with operations commencing in the second half of 2021[2].

Plant

The facility will utilize 2 lines of a Fluidised Bed Gasification system provided by Kobelco Eco Solutions. CoGen will continue to be involved in the project’s delivery through long-term Management Service Agreements (MSA)[1].

The Hooton Bio Power facility will be the first non-subsidized merchant Gasification facility in the UK, and the largest Gasification facility in the UK of its size and technology type[3].

Waste Input

The waste aggregator N+P will supply the waste for the facility, providing locally-sourced waste under a 15-year feedstock supply agreement[1].
