The Energy-from-Waste operator has provided details of its Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and has set out a decarbonisation strategy to support the UK and Europe in their net zero goals.
Also including its milestones throughout 2023, Encyclis acquired ISO certifications at its Rookery South and Newhurst facilities last year.
The report details its strategy, which aims to harness carbon capture and storage (CCS), district heating and resource efficiency to achieve 100% circularity in its operations by 2030.
‘Supporting a sustainable future’
Encyclis CEO, Owen Michaelson, said: “As a vital component of the waste hierarchy, Encyclis is ultimately dedicated to playing a key role in empowering and supporting a sustainable future for the UK, by setting new standards of sustainability in the Energy-from-Waste sector.”
The company also said it is poised to deliver the “UK’s first” commercial-scale carbon capture plant at an Energy-from-Waste (EfW) facility, via a pathfinder project in partnership with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ).
Final negotiations are underway to secure commercial arrangements for the plant, which will aim to lock away up to 350,000 tonnes of CO2 per year from the Protos Energy Recovery Facility, currently under construction in Ellesmere Port.
As part of the Hynet North West decarbonisation cluster and lead emitter project in Track 1, Phase 2 of the DESNZ Sequencing Programme, the captured carbon will be transported via pipelines for storage in depleted gas fields in Liverpool Bay.
The company said its operational and planned EfW facilities will provide the UK with 2.7m tonnes of treatment capacity for residual waste, providing 282MWh of baseload electricity, which is enough to power 562,500 homes.
