==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.

=~~=History==~~

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" />.

=~~=Plant==~~

The facility is operated under a three party agreement between [[FCC]], [[Nottingham City Council]] and [[Nottingham 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 capacity.

==~~Local Authority Users~~==

==Technology==

The extension line will utilise conventional combustion 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 electrcity to meet the power demands of the plant and to be fed into the grid.

==Construction==

The EPC contractor for the extension is [[Dr Born – Dr Ermel]], working alongside SLR Consulting<ref name="ref1" />.

==Waste Input==

The primary feedstock will mainly be [[municipal solid waste]] derived locally from Nottingham<ref name="ref3" />.
