EQTEC plc announced that it has entered into a co-operation agreement, through Logik WTE Limited (the "Project SPV"), with Anaergia Inc. ("Anaergia") (together, "the Parties") to develop a proposal for the delivery of the multi-technology waste-to-energy project at Deeside. Under the agreement, Anaergia will develop the engineering design for both the waste processing facility and the AD plant. The processing facility will take the waste and produce the required standard of RDF fuel for EQTEC's Advanced Gasification Technology employed at the plant.

It will also utilise Anaergia's OREXTM extrusion press to recover organics from the waste, which will be processed in Anaergia's AD plant to produce renewable natural gas (RNG) that will be injected into the national gas grid. Anaergia has deferred the majority of its fees for the front-end engineering and design until financial close, to further demonstrate commitment in the project and partnership. In addition to the process and design, the Parties have agreed to work exclusively together to reach commercial agreements for the design and build of the waste processing and the AD technologies and for the operation and maintenance of the plant for a minimum of five years.
