enfinium Ltd would like to register as an interested party to the upcoming examination of the Lincolnshire Green Energy DCO application. We reserve our position and would like the opportunity to participate in written representations and potentially hearing proceedings during the examination stage, where a more detailed case will be presented. A summary of our position is set out here. We believe that there is insufficient waste to substantiate a further 760,000 tonnes per year of energy from waste capacity in the regions that this facility would likely serve; Yorkshire and Humber and East Midlands. We would like to review and query the data used to facilitate this application in more depth using our in-house team and expert advisors. The applicants RDF Supply Assessment correctly points out that if the operational, construction and higher likelihood EfW facilities are considered, then there is no remaining capacity gap. This is then confirmed when you consider that a number of facilities identified the report have subsequently moved from the consented category into construction, accounting for 2.1Mt of additional capacity – with a significant proportion of this likely to be filled with wastes from the identified two English regions.
