The North Lincolnshire Green Energy Park (NLGEP) has received a Development Consent Order from the UK's Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. Situated in the Flixborough Industrial Estate, NLGEP is set to host an Energy Recovery Facility and plastic recycling plant to process waste, generating low-carbon energy for over 221,000 homes annually. The project aligns with the need for waste processing capacity in the region and includes carbon capture technology to capture CO₂ and create low-carbon hydrogen. NLGEP will also implement a district heat network to supply energy to local homes, while focusing on biodiversity enhancement and educational initiatives. The project aims to meet R1 energy recovery standards and contribute to decarbonizing energy supplies. Colin Hammond, a representative, highlighted the project's importance in decarbonizing waste management and resource optimization. NLGEP intends to create jobs, offer apprenticeships, and promote skills development for a net-zero economy. Anticipated to commence operations in 2030, the project emphasizes sustainability, innovation, and community development.
