UK – Recycling & WtE Facility

Construction of a recycling and WtE facility

The Glasgow Recycling and Renewable Energy Centre (GRREC) has commenced operations, boosting the city’s recycling rates and diverting 90% of all council waste from landfill.

The project was initially due for commissioning in 2016 but ran into delays when Interserve issued a trading update and was later served a notice of termination. Doosan Babcock was announced as the new EPC contractor to complete the facility.

The GRREC comprises of a materials recycling facility, an anaerobic digestion plant and an advanced conversion facility which produces refuse-derived fuel from post-recycled materials that remain.

Norway – Biogas Plant

Upgrading of a biogas production facility

Wärtsilä Gas Solutions is supplying a liquefaction plant to the VEAS wastewater treatment plant in Slemmestad. The plant will allow VEAS to upgrade biogas to biomethane for use as a transport fuel.

The project is scheduled to start commercial operations during 2020 and will produce biogas equivalent to approximately 6 million litres of diesel each year.

Our focus for the Global Waste Investment Fact File switches to Belgium and covers 21 projects in the country. These have a total value of US$1,551 million or US$74 million on average.

Key points from this Fact File

• Incineration (with energy recovery) is the leading project type, accounting for US$1,026 million or 66% of the total. This is followed by recycling, accounting for US$385 million or 25% of the total.
• The total estimated capacity of these projects is 3.3 million tonnes. This is equal to 159,241 tonnes per project on average and 70% of Belgium’s estimated annual waste generation.
• Waste investments totalling US$1,211 million are expected to become operational over the next few years. This is currently expected to peak in 2019 at US$534 million.
