Kemsley K3 EfW: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

An [[EfW]] facility based upon conventional combustion technology and presently in late stage construction. Kemsley (K3) has a current forecast operational capacity of 550,000 tonnes per annum with plans to extend (see Technology section below). The project has been developed and will be operated by [[Wheelabrator]] and was funded by the [[Green Investment Bank]], [[BTMU]], [[Natixis]] and [[Investec]]. The project reached financial close in September 2016 for GBP £340m<ref>[https://www.wtikemsley.co.uk/site/assets/files/1315/wheelabrator_news_release_-_kemsley_financial_close_-_28_july_2016_-_uk_final.pdf Wheelabrator Press Release]</ref>..

==History==

~~The plant technology will comprise 2 lines of a standard moving grate technology, producing super-heated steam and 49.9MW of electricity to grid and steam to the adjacent [[DS Smith]] papermill.~~

Additional permitted capacity is being sought within the boundaries of the current consent and technology, through improved efficiency of the plant design, to process a further 107,000 tones per annum and generate an additional 25.1MW.

Both the K3 and [[Wheelabrator Kemsley North|WKN]] facilities are discrete, and in addition to a planned 'K4' gas-fired [[CHP]] facility on the same site. The combined capacity of 'K3', 'K3 extension', and [[Wheelabrator Kemsley North|WKN]] totals 1,047,000 tonnes per annum.

In December 2020 [[Wheelabrator]] announced the sale of their UK energy from waste division to the [[European Diversified Infrastructure Fund III]], a fund managed by [[First Sentier Investors]] (FSI) (formally known as First State Investments) headquartered in Australia<ref>https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/wheelabrator-to-sell-uk-efw-arm/</ref> for completion in early 2021.
