World Waste to Energy

City Summit

MK Waste Recovery Park

11 May 2016

The Problem (or opportunity?)

• Government targets – Landfill Directive & Renewable Energy Directive

• Increasing landfill tax– £7 / Te in 1996 to £80 / Te from 2014 and growing

• Growth of Milton Keynes– Forecast 60,000 tpa in 2016 to 80,000 tpa in 2040

• Sustainability– Landfill generates 40% of the UK’s methane

emissions

• Supply and demand– Waste (demand) outstrips capacity (supply) in region

• MKC Policy & Strategy– 5% household waste to landfill by 2020

– 65% recycling by 2020

– 30 mile proximity

– Cleaner, greener, safer, healthier MK

– Develop a Residual Waste Treatment Facility

The Challenge

• Design Build with a 15 year Operation (medium term contract)

• Residual life of facility >10 years (25 years)

• Pre Treatment - Increase recycling & recover value

• Meaningful Biological Stage - Maximise recovery from waste

• Advanced Thermal Treatment - Diversion from landfill & renewable energy generation

• Utilise the Dickens Road site

• Minimise the carbon impact of managing waste

• Flexibility and sustainability

• Local and complementary to existing services

• Reduce cost for local tax payer (based on MKC waste only)

• Transfer of risk to the contractor
