An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology, located at Earls Gate Park, Grangemouth in Scotland. The facility is | An [[EfW]] facility based upon conventional [[combustion]] technology, located at Earls Gate Park, Grangemouth in Scotland. The facility is forecast to have a maximum capacity of 215,000 tonnes per annum, and will be a [[Combined Heat and Power]] facility, exporting 21.5 MW electricity and heat to the nearby chemical company [[CalaChem]] and to other adjacent industrial plants, with any excess power fed into the national grid. The cost of the project is circa £200m, which was provided by the investors [[Brockwell Energy]], the [[Green Investment Group]] and [[Covanta]]. The facility has been developed by [[Brockwell Energy]], and will be operated by [[MES Environmental]], a subsidiary of [[CNIM]], for a contract duration of 25 years. | ||
