Summary
An EfW facility based on a new gasification technology at demonstration scale, based in Swindon, due for construction completion in 2022. Advanced Biofuel Solutions Ltd and Greenergy signed a joint development agreement in November 2021 to develop up to 5 plants in in the UK, the first of which is planned in the north west and understood to be the Protos (Bio-Sustainable Natural Gas) Plot 4[1].
Technology
A proprietary gasification technology, developed by Advanced Biofuel Solutions Ltd called 'RadGas'. The Swindon plant is designed to convert household waste into a 'bio-substitute natural gas (BioSNG) - comprising the refinement of the syngas produced into hydrogen, liquid fuels and propane[1].
Construction
The construction, including early stage commissioning is complete and full operation is planned in 2022.
The next stage of development is a full scale project which has progressed to a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase by Petrofac for delivery of the gasifier by Sumitomo SHI FW by 2025, processing 150,000 tonnes per annum of feedstock[1].
Waste Input
The demonstration plant in Swindon handles 8,000 tonnes per annum of RDF produced from Household Waste, but has also processed Wood Waste, Tyres made into a crumb, Waste Oil and Automotive Shredder Residue[1].
