Energy from waste
Since 2010, Tata Chemicals Europe has been developing the EFW project to make use of the organisation’s existing industrial land at the site made available following the closure of the coal fired power station in 2000. Alongside the creation of hundreds of new jobs in the area and bringing a long-term tenant for the land, the new plant will be able to supply steam to Tata Chemicals Europe’s manufacturing operations.
Solar power
One of our latest projects will see us transform an old lime beds site into a solar power generation and storage facility. The brownfield land will be regenerated in order to produce commercial scale photovoltaic solar array with the capacity to generate 20MW, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of approximately 8,000 homes. It will mean that Tata Chemicals Europe can deliver 100% renewable energy to the national grid.
