==Summary==
A [[Biomass Waste EFW]] facility permitted to incinerate up to 35,000 tonnes per annum of [[Wood Waste]] generating 3.0MWe to the grid.
A [[Biomass Waste EFW]] facility [[Trackwork Waste and Thermal Treatment Facility]] is permitted to incinerate up to 35,000 tonnes per annum of [[Wood Waste]] generating 3.0MWe to the grid.


The Trackwork site was developed by [[Trackwork Ltd]] to process used railway sleepers from the rail network. Due to the hazardous nature of this particular material, the site is permitted as a hazardous waste incinerator. The permit was consolidated with an adjacent transfer station and processing site in November 2010, the consolidated permit allows up to 12,500 tonnes per year on non-hazardous and 42,000 tonnes per year of material to be handled.

==Plant==
The plant has expanded to take a wider range of hazardous [[Wood Waste]] beyond the originally intended railway sleepers<ref>[http://www.trackwork.co.uk/recycling/hazardous-treated-wood-disposal/ Trackwork Website]</ref>, including other treated [[Wood Waste]]:  
The plant was reported as becoming operational in 2010 and was built at a cost of £8m<ref>https://www.ttjonline.com/news/hazardous-wood-waste-plant-throws-the-switch</ref>.

The plant has expanded to take a wider range of hazardous [[Wood Waste]] beyond the originally intended railway sleepers from [[Network Rail]] including commercial and industrial sources<ref>[http://www.trackwork.co.uk/recycling/hazardous-treated-wood-disposal/ Trackwork Website]</ref>, including the following treated [[Wood Waste]]:  
* Creosote wood waste
* Creosote wood waste
* Copper Chromium Arsenic (CCA) wood waste
* Copper Chromium Arsenic (CCA) wood waste

==Tonnage Input/Fuel==
The tonnage received by the plant in the most recent [[Annual Sustainability Report]] for 2018-19<ref>[https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications-and-updates/biomass-sustainability-dataset-2018-19 Biomass Sustainability Dataset 2018-19]</ref> was reported by [[Ofgem]] as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Biomass !! Tonnage (2018-19)
|-
| [[Wood Waste]] || '''1,507'''
|-
| Other || 0
|-
| Total||1,507
|}
The plant utilizes hazardous [[Wood Waste]] from the rail network and other commercial and industrial sources. The [[Wood Waste]] tonnage received cannot be directly compared with the stated historical tonnage received and recorded in the [[EA]] statistics as these are recorded on a calendar year basis (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018) and was '''5,417''' tonnes.
