An [[EfW]] facility based upon [[Gasification]] technology. Enviroparks envisaged a range of technologies on their 20 acre site, and started by building the first phase, an [[RDF]] production facility in June 2015. Other developments were delayed and a new planning application was submitted and approved in late 2017 for a revised [[EfW]] proposal. [[Zues Renewables]] have been an investment partner in the project<ref>[https://enviroparks.co.uk/en/enviroparks-hirwaun/the-project-team/ Enviroparks Website]</ref>.
