About Encyclis:
Encyclis is one of the leading operators that provides energy recovery infrastructure which turns re-sidual waste into low-carbon electricity, heat and other reusable materials. The company’s state-of-the-art energy recovery facilities support the transition to a circular economy by making productive use of residual waste that would otherwise go to landfill.
Encyclis is part-owner and operator of four fully operational EfW facilities. The company is investing in processing plants to recycle the metals and produce aggerates from the bottom ash that remains after thermal treatment of waste.
The development of a commercial-scale carbon capture facility at Encyclis’ Protos ERF will enable around 370,000 tonnes per year of CO2 emissions from the adjoining waste treatment plant to be permanently locked away – which is equivalent to taking around 200,000 cars off the road. As part of the HyNet North West cluster, the Protos plant’s captured CO2 will be transported via pipeline for sub-sea storage in depleted gas fields in Liverpool Bay.
