==Summary== | ==Summary== | ||
An [[EfW]] facility based upon conventional combustion technology and presently in early stage construction. Lostock has a forecast operational capacity of 600,000 tonnes per annum. The project is owned by joint venture company [[Lostock Sustainable Energy Plant Ltd]] - an arrangement between [[Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners]] (60%) and [[FCC Environment]] (40%) with the original developer [[Tata Steel]] 'remaining a participant'. It was reported in November 2021 that the facility had applied to [[BEIS]] for an additional 128,000 tonnes per annum (taking the capacity to 728,000 tonnes per annum) without changing any of the buildings or approved infrastructure<ref>[https://www.mrw.co.uk/news/cheshire-efw-seeks-extra-capacity-05-11-2021/ MRW Artile]</ref> | |||
== | ==Technology== | ||
The plant technology will comprise 2 lines of a standard moving grate technology, producing super-heated steam and 60MWe<ref>[https://www.fccenvironment.co.uk/green-energy/lostock-power/ FCC Environment Website]</ref> | |||
== | ==Construction== | ||
The plant gained planning consent in 2012, reached financial close in March 2019, and was to be delivered by an [[EPC]] turnkey arrangement with [[CNIM]] with an operational date programmed for Q2 2023<ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/fcc-strikes-deal-tata-chemicals/ Lets Recycle Article]</ref>. However, issues have arisen with the construction subsidiary of [[CNIM]] responsible for delivery of [[EfW]] projects running into financial difficulties in January 2022. This is also impacting a second plant under construction at [[Earls Gate Energy Centre]]<ref>https://www.mrw.co.uk/news/mp-calls-to-halt-efw-as-builder-cnim-hits-financial-problems-28-01-2022/</ref>. | |||
== | ==Waste Input== | ||
The plant is intended to run on residual [[Household Waste]] and [[Commercial Waste]] provided by [[FCC Environment]]. | |||
