==Technology==
==Technology==
The plant was based on [[Chinook]]'s [[RODECS]] [[Gasification]] technology  
The plant was originally based on [[Chinook]]'s [[RODECS]] [[Gasification]] technology, a subsequent planning application was made in partnership with [[Cogen]] for an alternative approach.

There is no information on the current status of funding or construction of the project in the public domain, with the most recent project news requesting residual waste for the opening of the plant from 2017, posted in 2015<ref>[http://www.shore-energy.co.uk/ Shore Energy Website]</ref>
The planning application for the new larger approach was refused on appeal in November 2020 and it appears that the project will now not progress<ref>[https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/meat-kings-coatbridge-waste-plans-22974853 Daily Record Article]</ref>, although the original planning consent is understood to be extant<ref>[https://www.gov.scot/binaries/content/documents/govscot/publications/correspondence/2020/10/planning-decision-energy-from-waste-processing-building-at-former-shanks-and-mcewan-site-251-glasgow-and-edinburgh-road-coatbridge/documents/ppa-320-2125-decision-letter-refusing-planning-permission/ppa-320-2125-decision-letter-refusing-planning-permission/govscot%3Adocument/PPA-320-2125%2B-%2BCarnbroe%2Bdecision%2Bletter%2B-%2B3%2BNovember%2B2020_Redacted.pdf Scottish Government Decision Notice]</ref>.

==Waste Input==
The overall facility was designed to run on 160,000 tonnes per annum, with [[EfW]] facility designed to run on [[RDF]] and [[SRF]] delivered as prepared fuel, or prepared in the adjacent fuel processing facility.  
The overall facility was designed to run on 160,000 tonnes per annum, with the new application designed for 204,000 tonnes per annum (on a dry basis). The [[EfW]] facility designed to run on [[RDF]] and [[SRF]] delivered as prepared fuel, or prepared in an adjacent fuel processing facility.
