CCS deployment at Runcorn is the foundation of our decarbonisation ambition. In May 2021, we announced our five-step action plan to achieve net zero emissions by 2040, and the ambition to be the first net negative emissions waste and recycling company in the UK by 2045. Find out more about the Runcorn CCS Project here.

Viridor’s Carbon Capture Plant at Runcorn is the largest opportunity to accelerate deployment of CCS to decarbonise the waste sector. As the largest Energy from Waste (EFW) plant in the UK, Runcorn will capture nearly 1M tonnes of CO2 annually.

Runcorn Energy from Waste (EfW) facility is located to the North of the Runcorn site known as Weston Point. The EfW facility has a total capacity of approximately 350MW (thermal input) and is capable of generating up to approximately 86MW of electrical power and 110 tonnes per hour steam. The plant comprises of two parts: Phase 1 and Phase 2.

2015年3月10日 · Phase 1 of the Runcorn EfW plant is able to process up to 425,000 tonnes of refuse derived fuel (RDF) per annum, converting it into renewable energy comprising approximately 35 MW of electricity and 51 MW of thermal energy in the form of steam.

2024年4月1日 · The project will deliver a world-leading Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project at its Runcorn Energy Recovery Facility (ERF). Viridor’s ERF facilities generate electricity from waste which cannot be easily recycled or reused.

2024年2月28日 · The Runcorn EfW is integrated within the HyNet industrial carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS) cluster. This initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions from industries, homes, and transport while supporting economic growth in the North-West of England.”

Phase 1 of the Runcorn EfW plant is able to process up to 425,000 tonnes of refuse derived fuel (RDF) per annum, converting it into renewable energy comprising approximately 35 MW of electricity and 51 MW of thermal energy in the form of steam.

One of the largest ERF facilities in the UK, Runcorn EfW has a permitted operational capacity of 1,100,000 tonnes per annum and is operated by Viridor and owned by Viridor and Ineous Chlor. Delivery of waste is by both road and rail and the facility processes both residual Household Waste and Commercial Waste in the form of RDF [1] and in April ...

2015年5月18日 · Runcorn EfW features Keppel Seghers' proprietary technologies, including water-cooled multi-stage grates, boiler, and double dry flue gas treatment system that treats emissions to the highest standards, ensuring full compliance …

2024年4月18日 · Technip Energies (PARIS:TE) has been awarded a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract by Viridor for the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project at one of the United Kingdom’s largest Energy-from-Waste facilities in Runcorn, United Kingdom.
