An [[EfW]] facility based upon [[Gasification]] technology and presently in advanced construction/commissioning and reported in August 2024 as ceasing operation.

== | ==Construction== | ||
The plant commenced construction in January 2016 under a turnkey [[EPC]] contract with [[MW High Tech Projects UK]]. As a result of ongoing delays, the developer terminated the contract and contracted [[Black and Veatch]] in April 2019 to complete the works, which are now understood to be in advanced commissioning<ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/hull-gasification-project-appoints-new-contractor/ Letsrecycle Article]</ref>. Three former directors of [[MW High Tech Projects UK]] are presently being sued by the company for entering into the contract at £154m when it is alleged it should have been in excess of this figure<ref>[https://www.mrw.co.uk/news/director-trio-sued-over-320m-waste-project-losses-01-08-2022/?eea=*EEA*&eea=Y3pSOGJOdFFNTkw2MERxVHkyWGptYkY4WXR2QzZNVzRaWGJUR0RRNFVIdz0%3D&utm_source=acs&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=FABS_MRW_EDI_SUBS_Daily_02082022&deliveryName=DM64623 MRW Article Accessed August 2022]</ref>. | |||

The plant is designed to run on [[RDF]] manufactured from residual [[Household Waste]] and [[Commercial Waste]], with some preparation on site.
