Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Greatmoor has permitted operational capacity of 345,000 tonnes per annum, operated by FCC Environment in a partnership with Buckinghamshire County Council . Delivery of waste is by road and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste and some Commercial Waste[1].
History
The Greatmoor facility was built primarily to service a 30 year PFI contract signed in April 2013 with Buckinghamshire County Council, with anticipated total throughput of up to 345,000 tonnes per annum. It is located on FCC Environment's Calvert Landfill in the north of Buckinghamshire[2].
In 2020 FCC formed Green Recovery Projects Ltd, a new company for its Energy from Waste portfolio to allow the subsequent sale of 49% to Icon Infrastructure. This included Greatmoor EfW[3].
Plant
Built by Hitachi Zosen Inova under a Design & Build EPC-turnkey contract . Construction started in September 2013 and was completed in June 2016 at a reported[4] GBP £210m capital cost. The plant comprises 1 line of 37.5 tonnes/hour (maximum 39.4 tonnes/hour) with a design capacity capable of treating 300,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology, air cooled, Hitachi Zosen Inova Grate, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on residual Household Waste and Commercial Waste with a CV of between 7.5 and 12.5MJ/kg delivering between 27.7 MWe and 29.4 MWe output with up to 6.6 MWth of district heating output.
Local Authority Users
The following represents those local authorities recorded as putting tonnage into the site (either directly or via a transfer station). The 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). A 'zero return' below indicates no local authority tonnage was recorded, most likely a result of the plant being recently commissioned and actually having received no tonnage. Equally, lower than expected tonnage maybe a result of either a new plant being in 'ramp up' towards full capacity after construction, or may be a result of plant shut down and subsequent re-start in a year.
