Fuel pelleting plant for Middlesborough, UK
AV Dawson’s port facility in Teesside will be the first UK site for a new alternative fuel project for Waste Knot Energy
Backed by Gresham House’s British Strategic Investment Fund (BSIF), Waste Knot will manufacture “Green Knot” fuel pellets using non-recyclable waste, that otherwise destined for landfill or for another country’s waste facilities.
The high-calorific value of the pellets makes them a reliable, low-emission bulk alternative to coal and pet-coke for energy-intensive industries, such as cement and steel, it is stated.
Plant construction is now underway on a brownfield site owned by A V Dawson. At regime, the plant has a capacity of more than 240,000 tpa of fuel pellets, which will be transported within the UK by rail or exported by ship.
Gary Dawson, MD at AV Dawson, said: “We are completely redeveloping a whole area of our Middlesbrough site to provide a tailored solution for the customer that gives them a purpose-built facility with immediate access to the quayside, enabling the efficient production and export of pellets around the world.
“Once the processing facility is operational, we will be providing the ongoing logistics; loading vessels on a weekly basis to keep up with 24-hour production schedule.
BSIF invests in sustainable UK housing and infrastructure, with emphasis on the smaller mid-market, via investments in local and regional projects.
