Summary

An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Greatmoor has permitted operational capacity of 345,000 tonnes per annum, operated by FCC Environment in a partnership with Buckinghamshire County Council . Delivery of waste is by road and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste and some Commercial Waste[2].

History

The Greatmoor facility was built primarily to service a 30 year PFI contract signed in April 2013 with Buckinghamshire County Council, with anticipated total throughput of up to 345,000 tonnes per annum. It is located on FCC Environment's Calvert Landfill in the north of Buckinghamshire[3].

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 Greatmoor EfW[4].

Plant

Built by Hitachi Zosen Inova under a Design & Build EPC-turnkey contract . Construction started in September 2013 and was completed in June 2016 at a reported[5] GBP £210m capital cost. The plant comprises 1 line of 37.5 tonnes/hour (maximum 39.4 tonnes/hour) with a design capacity capable of treating 300,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology, air cooled, Hitachi Zosen Inova Grate, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on residual Household Waste and Commercial Waste with a CV of between 7.5 and 12.5MJ/kg delivering between 27.7 MWe and 29.4 MWe output with up to 6.6 MWth of district heating output.

Local Authority Users

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: 204,647.5t

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
