enfinium and Hitachi Zosen Inova (HZI) are to install the UK’s first carbon capture pilot plant at an energy-from-waste facility.
The unit will capture up to one tonne of CO2 per day from enfinium’s operations at its Ferrybridge-1 site, in West Yorkshire. The trial, starting in July, will run for at least a year, and is believed to be the first of its kind in Europe.
The technology supplied by HZI will be a scaled-down, containerised version of its carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology that could be applied to energy from waste facilities on a commercial scale.
The pilot will be used to demonstrate how carbon capture technology can be applied at energy from waste facilities to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Through the pilot, enfinium will be able to compare different amine solvents and collect realistic data on performance, such as CO2 capture rate, energy consumption, and solvent degradation.
