Energy from waste on Teesside

Taylor Keogh is supporting Air Product’s plans to build a 49MW energy from waste plant on Teesside. The proposed scheme, which requires approval from Stockton Council and an environmental permitting consent from the Environment Agency, will use advanced gasification technology to convert pre-processed waste to baseload power.

The proposed Tees Valley Renewable Energy Facility was announced this summer and it has been welcomed by a number of local organisations including the North East Process Industries Cluster, the North East Chamber of Commerce, Renew@CPI and Tees Valley Unlimited. Subject to planning approval and financing, the Air Products facility is targeted to enter commercial operation in early 2014.

Taylor Keogh’s work has included stakeholder and community consultation (including public exhibitions), press relations and website/literature development. www.airproducts.co.uk/teesvalley
