==Summary==
[[Eastcroft EfW (Lines 1 & 2)]], located in Nottingham has been in operated by [[FCC Environment]] since 1998. A third line with a new boiler and combustion system for this facility is currently under construction which will add a capacity of 140,000 tpa of waste to the existing 160,000 tpa capacity provided by lines 1 & 2<ref name="ref1" >FCC Environment, 2020. [https://www.fccenvironment.co.uk/green-energy/eastcroft/ Eastcroft - FCC Environment. Online. FCC Environment. [Accessed 21 Feb. 2020].]</ref>. The additional third line was initially granted planning permission in February 2009 for 100,000 tpa, but a new planning consent was granted in 2016, allowing the extension to provide 140,000 tpa of additional capacity<ref name="ref2" >ENDS Waste and Bioenergy, 2016.

FCC Environment awarded the contract to develop this new line to [[SLR Consulting]], an international environmental, waste management and energy consultancy company<ref name="ref1" />.
The facility is operated under a three party agreement between [[FCC Environment]], [[Nottingham City Council]] and [[Nottinghamshire County Council]], with the waste capacity provided by all three<ref name="ref3" >Lets Recycle, 2016.[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/fcc-to-almost-double-eastcroft-efw-capacity/ FCC to almost double [[Eastcroft EfW (Lines 1 & 2)]] capacity.

==Technology==
The extension line will utilise conventional [[combustion]] technology.


==Technology==
This [[EfW]] produces stream as an output from the recovery process, that is then delivered to public buildings and 4,600 domestic premises in Nottingham through a pipeline to [[EnviroEnergy Limited]], a company wholly owned by the city council. Any excess steam is used to produce electricity to meet the power demands of the plant and to be fed into the grid<ref name="ref3" />.

==Construction==
The EPC contractor for the extension is [[Dr Born – Dr Ermel]], working alongside SLR Consulting<ref name="ref1" />.
Awaiting confirmation details from [[FCC Environment]]. The Eastcroft EfW website states that construction was expected to commence in 2020<ref>https://eastcroft.fccenvironment.co.uk/eastcroft-energy-from-waste/</ref>, although the annual report by FCC states that the construction had not commenced in 2021.


==Waste Input==
