Summary
An EfW facility based upon Gasification technology and presently in advanced construction/commissioning and reported in August 2024 as ceasing operation. Energy Works has forecast operational capacity of 240,000 tonnes per annum, and is being developed by Bioenergy Investment Group (now known as Envero).
Technology
The plant is a single line, fluidised bed Gasification plant by Outotec, generating super-heated steam.
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[1]. 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[2].
Waste Input
The plant is designed to run on RDF manufactured from residual Household Waste and Commercial Waste, with some preparation on site. The majority of supply has been underpinned by a contract with Geminor who will aggregate tonnage, including that from Hull City Council[3].
