The big headline this week - the UK's first carbon capture pilot on EfW facility goes live

In our first-ever EfW Net news bulletin, we covered the race to become the UK’s first carbon capture pilot in the UK. But who was going to get there first? Well, now we have the answer, as enfinium has announced that the pilot in its Ferrybridge site in West Yorkshire is live.

Want to better understand carbon capture and all its complexities?

Regular contributor to the Energy from Waste Network, consultant Paul Winter, has created a series ‘Navigating the Complexities of Carbon Capture in the UK’. The first part looks at CC from an EFW perspective, while the other looks at ETS and Sequestration Methodologies.

The LGA warns of "enormous costs" of ETS for local councils

Research by the Local Government Association (LGA) has found that EfW’s inclusion in the Emissions Trading Scheme could cost local authorities billions over the next decade. They are now calling for the government to “hold industry responsible” for the costs. 

And to finish, an exciting achievement: An EfW facility has announced its recovered 1 million megawatts of energy

The facility in Worcestershire processes around 210,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste each year which, since its opening, has now created 1 million megawatts of energy from waste.
