Ardley EFW
Construction of the state of the art Energy from Waste (EfW) facility began in December 2011. Ardley EfW will process around 300,000 tonnes of non-hazardous, post-recycling. residual waste. The facility will take about 3 years to complete and commission becoming fully operational in the second half of 2014. The technology provider is CNIM and the civil engineering sub-contractor is Clugston.
From 2014/15 residual waste will be processed at the new £200m EfW facility. The plant will:
- Have capacity to treat 300,000 tonnes of waste per year – sufficient to treat all of Oxfordshire’s residual municipal waste
- Divert at least 95% of Oxfordshire’s residual municipal waste from landfill
- Generate enough electricity for about 38,000 homes
- Provide a value for money solution for managing residual waste compared to continuing to landfill
- Provide up to about 200 jobs during construction and about 40 during operation.
