An [[EfW]] facility based upon conventional [[combustion]] technology which is not considered an [[ERF]] as a result of not having [[R1]] status. Eastcroft has a permitted operational capacity of 200,000 tonnes per annum. It is operated by [[FCC Environment]] on behalf [[Nottingham City Council]] and [[Nottinghamshire County Council]] who took over the operation of the plant in 1998. Delivery of waste is by road from a network of waste transfer stations and the facility processes primarily residual [[Household Waste]] and some [[Commercial Waste]].

==Summary==

Line 7:

Line 9:

The energy recovery process at Eastcroft generates steam, which is delivered via a pipeline to [[EnviroEnergy Limited]], a company wholly owned by [[Nottingham City Council]]. EnviroEnergy supplies heat to a wide range of customers, including 4,600 domestic premises in the city, as well as public buildings including the Broad Marsh shopping centres, Victoria Baths, Nottingham Trent University’s Newton Building, the Inland Revenue building, the Magistrates Court, Nottingham City Council offices and the National Ice Centre. Any excess steam is also used to generate electricity which powers the facility and is also supplied to many local customers within Nottingham City.<ref>https://www.fccenvironment.co.uk/green-energy/eastcroft/</ref>

==History==

The Eastcroft facility was built primarily to service a 25 year [[PPP]] with [[Nottinghamshire County Council]] and [[Nottingham City Council]] and became operational in 1973. It was built to treat around 160,000 tonnes per annum of residual [[Household Waste]] and some [[Commercial Waste]] throughout Greater Nottinghamshire.

Line 17:

In 2020 [[FCC]] formed [[Green Recovery Projects Ltd]], a new company for its [[Energy from Waste]] portfolio to allow the subsequent sale of 49% to [[Icon Infrastructure]]. This included the Eastcroft EfW facility <ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/icon-infrastructure-share-fcc-energy-from-wastes-energy-from-waste-plants/ Letsrecycle Article]</ref>.

==Plant==

The plant was built in the early 1970's and as such information on the contractor and the technology used at the time is scarce.

Line 25:

Back in the early 1970s linking an energy from waste facility with district heating was the biggest of its kind in the UK costing in the region of £5m.<ref name="EC" />

==Local Authority Users==

The following represents those local authorities recorded as putting tonnage into the site (either directly or via a transfer station). 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). A 'zero return' below indicates no local authority tonnage was recorded, most likely a result of the plant being recently commissioned and actually having received no tonnage. Equally, lower than expected tonnage maybe a result of either 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.
