Encyclis completes HVO-powered energy-from-waste plant in “UK industry first”
ENCYCLIS has announced the completion of a pilot programme to replace diesel in the energy-from-waste process with sustainable hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO).
The Newhurst Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) in Leicestershire used HVO as part of its start-up process following a planned maintenance outage this month.
HVO, produced from fully renewable and sustainable waste, is now fuelling the plant’s auxiliary burners, plant vehicles and emergency generator, which completely removes their fossil CO2 emissions.
ENCYCLIS CEO Owen Michaelson said: “This industry-leading achievement is a testament to the dedication of our teams and another example of the action we are taking right now to decarbonise our energy-from-waste operations. The fact that we are the first to achieve this is a source of immense pride.
Once longer-term performance testing is completed, ENCYCLIS plans to expand the use of HVO to replace diesel across its fleet of energy recovery facilities.
