Viridor

🎉We're very pleased to have been shortlisted for two UK Green Business Awards 2025. 💚 Our ESG Director Edita Adamcik, has been shortlisted in the Sustainability Leader of the Year category. This is a well deserved celebration of Edita's work leading multiple projects that have transformed our approach to environmental responsibility over recent years. 💚 We were also shortlisted for Company of the Year. Part of the submission focused on our Vision 2045 work which looks at how Energy from Waste (EfW) when combined with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) provides a credible pathway to not only fully decarbonise the treatment of non-recycled waste, but also generates CO2 removals (CDRs) which help create a route to net zero. Good luck to all of the other finalists and we look forward to seeing you at the awards ceremony in June. 👏 #finalists #sustainabilityleaderoftheyear #companyoftheyear #energyfromwaste #carboncaptureandstorage

👏 We were proud to see Jonathan Heneghan and Lee Hodder representing Viridor on Day 2 of the Energy from Waste Conference, delivering powerful insights into the future of Energy from Waste (EfW) and Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS).👍 💡 Jonathan Heneghan shared a valuable perspective on heat offtake projects, emphasising that while heat may be available, it’s not free – considering the capital expenditures for development and operating costs involved. He highlighted the challenges of brownfield modifications, the critical need for strong cooperation between heat producers and off-takers, and the importance of design flexibility to balance complexity and cost. Jonathan also advocated for early support in engineering and planning to make facilities truly "offtake-ready" when heat demand arises. 💡 Lee Hodder delved into the credibility of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) from EfWs, stressing that revenue from CDR credits is essential to building a sustainable business case without heavy government subsidies. He discussed the role of the Emissions Trading Scheme and complementary regulations in driving carbon capture, as well as the need to reduce risk costs to support CCUS deployment. Lee also highlighted the opportunity to bring down build costs through standardisation and replication, with Viridor already developing five CCUS projects at a scale. 🤝 We’re excited to continue leading the way in sustainable innovation and advancing our industry’s role in a low-carbon future! 💚 #EnergyfromWaste #HeatOfftake #CCUS #Viridor #BuildingAWorldWhereNothingGoesToWaste #efw2025

👏 Our very own Tim Rotheray took the stage at the Energy from Waste Conference's Leaders Panel today, sharing Viridor’s vision for the transformative potential of Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS) for our sector and beyond. 📢 He highlighted how CCUS represents the biggest infrastructure investment opportunity for Energy from Waste, with the potential to kickstart the negative emissions market, support UK CCUS infrastructure and create vibrant green industrial hubs powered by domestic green energy. ☝️ Tim emphasised the critical role of the Emissions Trading Scheme in driving deep decarbonisation. With neither Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs nor Viridor anticipating a drop in residual waste volumes, our focus is clear: drive down fossil content, maximise Carbon Dioxide Removals and push toward a greener future. 🤝 The establishment of the National Infrastructure Service Transformation Authority and the 10-year infrastructure plan are pivotal steps forward. They’ll help shape where future EfW assets will thrive and guide a smart approach to retiring older infrastructure. 🤝 The energy and collaboration at the conference has been incredible, and we can’t wait to build on this momentum! 💚 👇 For more information on the Viridor's vision please click here 👇: https://lnkd.in/evp97ReC #EnergyFromWaste #CCUS #Decarbonisation #Viridor #BuildingAWorldWhereNothingGoesToWaste #efw2025

👏 It was great to see our Head of Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS) James Eyton CEng MIMechE, participate in a panel on solutions and approaches for CCUS projects in the Energy from Waste sector at the Energy from Waste Conference today. 🤩 ☝️The deployment of CCUS projects across the UK presents an exciting opportunity as we seek to enter a new era of low-carbon energy. James reiterated the importance of ensuring the UK’s first CCUS projects are completed – and our CCUS project at Runcorn is vital in accelerating the decarbonisation of waste processing. He also discussed the opportunities offered by cost reduction through repetition and the potential of shipping and rail as viable CO2 transport methods.👏 🤩 At Viridor, we are proud to be at the forefront of CCUS deployment in the Energy from Waste sector. Our Runcorn project has the potential to capture nearly one million tonnes of CO2 each year, cut our emissions by 64%, underpin the HyNet cluster and help to decarbonise Greater Manchester’s residual waste.💚 We look forward to more of our colleagues participating in exciting and highly relevant discussions as the conference progresses. #EnergyFromWaste #CCUS #CarbonCapture #Viridor #BuildingAWorldWhereNothingGoesToWaste #efw2025

👏 Excellent to see our CEO, Kevin Bradshaw, articulate Viridor's commitment to the UK's growth agenda and Net Zero vision whilst opening the Energy from Waste Conference 2025. 🤩 Kevin highlighted the story of Darren Bolton C.Eng FIMechE, the plant manager at our Runcorn facility, who is a living example of our commitment to energy evolution through his journey from a coal-fired power station in Warrington to spearheading the green transition with us. At Viridor, we believe that by embracing carbon capture technology, we can transform the Energy from Waste sector into a generator of clean energy and a significant contributor to the UK's Net Zero goals. This is a £19bn investment opportunity that could create 14,000 green jobs and £40bn in gross value added.👏👏👏 This is truly our moment as a sector. We have the chance to decarbonise hard-to-abate industries and become the UK’s largest source of domestic carbon removals in a cost-effective manner. This is an opportunity worth striving for and sits at the foundation of everything we do at Viridor.💚 #EnergyFromWaste #NetZero #CarbonCapture #Viridor #BuildingAWorldWhereNothingGoesToWaste #efw2025

Resource Recovery UK (RRUK) has a new LinkedIn page! 🎉 If you're interested in Energy from Waste (EfW) and sustainable resource management, make sure to follow RRUK for updates, insights, and industry news. ♻️🔥 Join the conversation on the future of energy recovery and the circular economy. Let’s work together towards a cleaner, greener future! #EnergyFromWaste #Sustainability #ResourceRecovery #CircularEconomy #WasteToEnergy

We were pleased to welcome senior circular economy officials from Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and The Food and Drink Federation to our chemical recycling facility in Skive, Denmark. ♻️ As the first Plastics-to-Liquids site of its kind in the world, our Quantafuel facility showcases pioneering technology that transforms hard-to-recycle plastics into valuable raw materials. Its success in Denmark highlights the importance of the right policy framework in attracting investment – something we’re keen to see replicated in the UK. ✅ Following a tour led by the plant director Rasmus Hvid Kærsgaard, we had a productive discussion on how the UK can create the conditions necessary to accelerate circular economy solutions. By investing in innovative technologies like chemical recycling, we can maximise resource efficiency and move closer to a truly circular future. 🌍 We will also fully decarbonise the safe treatment of waste that cannot be recycled, helping us to become the first climate positive waste and recycling company by 2045. #PlasticsRecycling #CircularEconomy #Innovation #Quantafuel #Viridor

Alexei Rojas - Arsenal's under 21 goalkeeper and ambassador for the charity Pledgeball visited our Ardley Energy Recovery Facility to find out what happens to black bag waste. Check out what he thinks of the process from 13:10 on the video below. As Alexei says: "It's eyeopening to see what's happening to our waste. Everyone has a responsibility to reduce waste. It's about collective action and how we can all make a change." https://lnkd.in/eKabhS4G #recycling #energyfromwaste #collectiveaction #smallchangesmakeabigdifference
