The UK Energy Secretary has given approval to the North Lincolnshire Green Energy Park for its innovative plans to convert commercial and household waste into low-carbon electricity and hydrogen. The park aims to process 760,000 tonnes of waste annually to generate 95MWe of electricity, which will be utilized for powering homes and electrolysis to produce hydrogen. The hydrogen will be created using a 10MW electrolyser system that utilizes water from waste condensate. Additionally, plans include the establishment of a hydrogen refuelling station on-site and exploring opportunities to supply hydrogen for industrial processes and gas grid blending. The project also focuses on sustainability by capturing up to 650,000 tonnes of CO2 annually from the waste incineration process, which will be stored in the North Sea through the Humber Carbon Capture Pipeline. Furthermore, the captured CO2 will be utilized in recycling processes to create concrete. The site will also house a plastic recycling facility to sort and repurpose plastics from the waste stream. Construction is scheduled to start in 2026, with operations projected to begin in 2030, offering a comprehensive approach to waste-to-energy, carbon capture, and sustainable development in the region.
