David Palumbo, CEO, EQTEC, commented:
"We are delighted by the resolution to grant planning consent for the RDF Project at Deeside, with our technology enhancing the existing permission for recycling and anaerobic digestion facilities, to achieve better environmental profile than other waste-to-energy methods. This milestone underlines the significance of EQTEC's Advanced Gasification Technology for reducing waste, producing green energy, powering local industry and communities, and generating local jobs.
"This decision paves the way for us to formalise our agreement with Anaergia, with appetite and synergies between the two parties to replicate this type of project configuration on other plants in the UK and potentially worldwide. It will also accelerate our partnership with Toyota, taking us a step closer to delivering a localised and environmentally friendly waste-to-energy plant for the area around Deeside. Our Advanced Gasification is not a concept technology for the future but a proven solution for today's challenges of waste management and clean energy generation."
Neil Spencer of Logik Developments, commented:
"We are delighted that we have now received a resolution for planning consent for EQTEC's gasification technology at Deeside and it is a great achievement for the team at Logik and their sister company MBS Partnership who have worked tirelessly to make this happen.
"To be involved in the first combined anaerobic digestion and gasification plant in the UK and work with the likes of EQTEC and Toyota is a great honour and we look forward to the construction of this site as well as developing other sites with them throughout the UK."
Martin Hopkins, MD of Anaergia UK, commented:
"This project offers a great model for the UK waste industry and aligns closely with our mission to convert waste into useful resources, protect the environment, and sustain life for generations to come. We look forward to the opportunity to combine Anaergia's organics industry-leading recovery and processing technologies with EQTEC's advanced gasification expertise at the Deeside facility."
