EQTEC plc announced that it has secured a resolution to grant planning consent for an advanced gasification facility deploying EQTEC technology at its Deeside Refuse Derived Fuel project (the "Deeside RDF Project") with partner, Logik Developments Limited, in Flintshire, Wales. Flintshire County Council's Planning Committee has resolved to grant planning permission for the proposed 9.9 MWe plant to enable a complete and local waste-to-energy solution, combining a 182,000 tonne waste reception plant along with anaerobic digestion ("AD") and EQTEC Advanced Gasification Technology. The planning authority's decision follows its prior approval of the site for the original plan of a recycling and AD facility. The additional Phase 2 permission creates an enhanced integrated waste-to-energy solution, one that is more environmentally friendly and economically efficient than legacy alternatives, in order to directly address the challenges of waste reduction and the need for clean energy, while also creating local jobs. The Project supports Flintshire County Council's ambitions to achieve Net Zero carbon emissions by 2030 and its overarching climate change agenda.
