Energy from Waste Facility

Covanta Energy, the world’s biggest operator of Energy from Waste (EfW) facilities, will design, build, own and operate the EfW facility.

This state of the art facility will convert household and business waste which cannot be sensibly recycled into steam generated heat and up to 95MW of electricity – that’s enough electricity to meet the needs of about 142,000 homes and meets 16% of the North West’s renewable energy target. Much of this energy can be redeployed within the Park to increase the viability of recycling and reprocessing goods and materials and thus avoiding them being sent to landfill.

Construction of the EfW facility is anticipated to commence in 2011.

Environmental Technologies Complex

The Environmental Technologies Complex will consist of:

• a series of development plots for specialist resource recovery companies;
• further development sites for linked companies producing new commodities from the recovered material;
• sites for research and development organisations who are closely allied with the specialist recovery and reprocessing companies;
