Summary

An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology, located at East Tullos industrial estate at the site of a former gas storage site in the south of Aberdeen. The facility is forecast to have a capacity of 150,000 tonnes per annum and will export electricity to the national grid. It is expected that the facility will become operational by August 2022[1].

In 2015, Aberdeen City Council, Moray Council and Aberdeenshire Council decided to collaborate to put in place a long-term waste management solution for the area, issuing the tender notice early in 2017. In March 2019, Acciona were chosen as the preferred bidder to construct the facility, working alongside the local authorities and waste firm Indaver, which is contracted to operate the plant for 20 years once operational[2].

Technology

The EfW will utilize moving-grate combustion technology[1] from KeppelSeghers[3].

Construction

The construction firm Acconia is building the plant as the EPC contractor, having started construction in 2019[1].

Waste Input

The facility will use a feedstock of household residual waste sourced from Aberdeen City, Moray and Aberdeenshire councils[1].
