The UK Governments CCUS Application For Energy From Waste Projects
11 November 2021
The latest UK Government Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) update:
- demonstrates clear support under the ICC model for EfW projects;
- describes the eligibility criteria for EfW and similar facilities; and
- sets out the submission structure and timetable for eligible EfW projects.
This update is a significant step towards incorporating carbon capture and storage ("CCS") technology into energy from waste facilities, either by:
- retro-fitting CCS technology to existing energy from waste facilities; or
- incorporating CCS technology into new EfW facilities which are currently being developed or are yet to be developed.
