An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Located in Staffordshire in the West Midlands of England, the Four Ashes EfW has a permitted operational capacity of 340,000 tonnes per annum, producing up to 29 MW that supplies the EfW's own energy needs, exporting the rest to the grid (23 MW). The facility is owned and operated by Veolia. Feedstock for the facility is primarily locally sourced residual Household Waste, with the delivery method being through road transport[1].

Summary

An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Located in Staffordshire in the West Midlands of England, the Four Ashes EfW has a permitted operational capacity of 340,000 tonnes per annum, producing up to 29 MW that supplies the EfW's own energy needs, exporting the rest to the grid (23 MW). The facility is owned and operated by Veolia. Feedstock for the facility is primarily locally sourced residual Household Waste, with the delivery method being through road transport[1].

History

Veolia received planning permission to build the facility at Four Ashes in February 2011 after modifying its proposals to include a smaller chimney stack and lower roof[2]. Construction of the plant began in August 2011[2], leading to the official opening, carried out by HRH The Duke of Gloucester KG GCVO, and commencement of operations of the facility taking place on Wednesday 14th May 2014[1].

In December 2014 Veolia seeked permission from Staffordshire County Council’s Planning Authority to increase the tonnage of waste that is delivered to the Four Ashes site from 300,000 to 340,000 tonnes per annum[1].

Plant

This facility was developed under a 25 year Public Finance Initiative (PFI) contract worth £1 billion for residual waste treatment and disposal, signed by Staffordshire County Council in July 2010 it was the biggest in Staffordshire County Council’s history[2].

The facility has been built with technologies developed by Veolia in partnership with CNIM Clugston Staffordshire Ltd, with the EPC work carried out by CNIM. The combustion technology comprises of two 20 t/h incineration lines of the CNIM/Martin GmbH reverse-acting grate system with two lines, a CNIM-designed horizontal boiler and a SecoLAB© flue ash treatment system supplied by LAB, a Group CNIM company[3].

Local Authority Data

The table below lists those local authorities who have recorded their tonnage on WasteDataFlow as sending their Waste to this site (either directly or via a transfer station) for the most recent financial year, data was updated on 2023-04-26. The tonnage received cannot be directly compared with the stated historical tonnage received and recorded in the EA statistics as these are recorded on a calendar year basis (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018). The total Local Authority waste received by the plant in the period was: 271,039.61t

A 'zero return' or a below expected return, when compared to the EA Data below indicates that either:

  • no local authority tonnage was recorded/no tonnage was sent to the site in the period (but has been listed as it may have previously received tonnage from a local authority) or
  • a result of the plant being recently commissioned and actually having received no tonnage or
  • a lower than expected tonnage maybe a result of a local authority splitting their tonnage over multiple sites, having less tonnage to send than might be anticipated or
  • it may be a new plant being in 'ramp up' towards full capacity after construction or
  • may be a result of plant shut down and subsequent re-start in a year or
  • the local authority may not have correctly entered the site's details on WasteDataFlow

Waste Tonnage, By Origin

The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit HP3431HK, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data was last updated on October 2024. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: 327,291.86t.

Where this tonnage exceeds that reported in year of the corresponding annual report, this may be due to the following reasons:

  • Tonnage may have been received but not incinerated, i.e. the material is held pending incineration (the operator return to the EA reports as received whereas the annual report focuses on when the waste is incinerated.)
  • Material may have been received into the site but treated in some other way than incineration.
  • Material may have been received on the but transferred out of site for disposal/treatment at another site rather than incineration on the site.
