Summary

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 160,000 tonnes per annum, operated over two lines. It is operated by FCC Environment on behalf Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council. 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.

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.[1]

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 150,000-160,000 tonnes per annum of residual Household Waste and some Commercial Waste throughout Greater Nottinghamshire.

During the 1990's it was upgraded to meet the emission standards imposed by the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (EPA) and European Directive on Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control 96/61/EC.

FCC Environment have also recived planning consent to add an addional line to the facility at Eastcroft which will see the total amount of Residual Waste treated on site increased by a further 100,000 tonnes per annum taking the total tonnage capacity to 260,000 tonnes being treated over 3 lines. Eastcroft EfW (3rd Line) (resubmission) contains further details of this expansion.

Local Authority Users

The following data comes from WasteDataFlow for the financial year 2018/19 and 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.

Derbyshire County Council 6439.780
Nottingham City Council 90060.030
Nottinghamshire County Council 74413.160
Rutland County Council 9350.640
