[[Eastcroft EfW (Lines 1 & 2)]], located in Nottingham has been operated by [[FCC Environment]] since 1998. A [[Eastcroft EfW (3rd Line)]] is the addition of third line with a new boiler and [[combustion]] system for this facility which, if constructed, would add a capacity of 140,000 tpa of waste to the existing capacity provided by lines 1 & 2<ref name="ref1" >FCC Environment, 2020.

==Summary==
[[Eastcroft EfW (Lines 1 & 2)]], located in Nottingham has been operated by [[FCC Environment]] since 1998. A [[Eastcroft EfW (3rd Line)]] is the addition of third line with a new boiler and [[combustion]] system for this facility which, if constructed, would add a capacity of 140,000 tpa of waste to the existing capacity provided by lines 1 & 2<ref name="ref1" >FCC Environment, 2020.

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.

The facility is operated under a three party agreement between [[FCC Environment]], [[Nottingham City Council]] and [[Nottinghamshire 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 (Lines 1 & 2)]] capacity.

==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 electricity to meet the power demands of the plant and to be fed into the grid<ref name="ref3" />.

==Construction==
Awaiting confirmation details from [[FCC Environment]]. The Eastcroft EfW website states that construction was expected to commence in 2020<ref>https://eastcroft.fccenvironment.co.uk/eastcroft-energy-from-waste/</ref>, although the annual report by FCC states that the construction had not commenced in 2021.

==Waste Input==
The primary feedstock will mainly be [[Municipal Solid Waste]] derived locally from Nottingham<ref name="ref3" />.
