Riverside Energy from Waste (EfW)

We’re one of the shareholders of the Riverside Energy from Waste (EfW) plant in Kent. We also provide debt financing to Cory Riverside.  

EfW forms an important part of the circular economy by diverting non -recyclable waste that would otherwise have gone to landfill, where it would release significantly more harmful greenhouse gases, and instead using it to generate electricity. 

A £900m expansion project at the plant will bring capacity up to 1.5m tonnes of non - recyclable waste p.a. by 2026, saving up to 300,000 tonnes of CO2 p.a. vs landfilling. The plant is planning to be one of the first in the UK to invest in carbon capture and storage technology which will capture c.90% of emissions from the plant and has been designated by the UK Government as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project.
