Wheelabrator technologies has submitted a development consent order dco application to the planning inspectorate for two waste to energy projects.
Kemsley energy from waste.
The proposed new sustainable energy plant which would typically generate in the region of 40mw of electricity and 60mw of heat would be the next step in providing a modern flexible energy supply to kemsley mill by taking a waste product and turning it into electricity and steam.
Together both kemsley facilities would generate enough energy to power more than 240 000 uk homes and businesses.
Suez secures order for kemsley efw facility hot commissioning of wheelabrator s kemsley energy from waste facility in kent is underway using waste supplied by suez recycling and recovery uk.
It is expected to generate up to 154 gwh of renewable electricity annually once fully operational equivalent to the power consumed by 37 500 homes and 180 gwh of renewable heat.
The first is for the construction and operation of wheelabrator kemsley k3 and the second is a new 42mw gross 37mw net waste to energy facility wheelabrator kemsley north wkn.
Wheelabrator kemsley north would be a new single line waste to energy facility capable of generating up to 42 mw gross 37 mw net of renewable baseload energy by processing up to 390 000 tonnes of non recyclable waste each year.
And suez is understood to have won a major ongoing contract to supply the plant with waste as a feedstock.
Together both kemsley facilities would generate enough energy to power more than 240 000 uk homes and businesses.
Wheelabrator technologies has been granted a permit variation by the environment agency for its kemsley energy from waste efw which will see its throughput increase from 550 000 to 657 000 tonnes annually.
Wheelabrator kemsley north would be a new single line waste to energy facility capable of generating up to 42 mw gross 37 mw net of renewable baseload energy by processing up to 390 000 tonnes of non recyclable waste each year.
The wheelabrator kemsley facility will be able to process 550 000 tonnes of local residential and business waste fuel each year generating up to 50 mw gross of clean renewable energy to power uk homes and businesses.
