1.0 Introduction

This report was commissioned by Ricardo-AEA under PO 70102294, and funded by the International Energy Agency’s Bioenergy Agreement through Task 36, managed by Ricardo AEA.

Vismundi Limited was requested to investigate the apparent growth of the use of Advanced Conversion Technologies (gasification and pyrolysis) for the treatment of waste in the UK, and identify the number of projects in development and in operation, and state the reason for the growth experienced.

Vismundi has used direct knowledge, internet search engines and the Planning Portal to produce a database of ACT projects, now presented in this report as of March 2015. As a result, 88 projects have been identified in various stages of development. The report then explains how changes in the market for energy from waste in the UK, the Renewables Obligation (RO), and Electricity Market Reform (EMR) has facilitated a growth from a couple to the current number in 5 years.

2.0 Summary

The use of advanced conversion technologies (ACT) – namely pyrolysis and gasification – has increased rapidly in the UK over the last five years. In 2008, when Waste Gas Technology UK Ltd retrofitted an Energos gasification unit into an old incinerator in the Isle of Wight, it became the first successful operational gasification unit in the country using waste as fuel. Today, using Vismundi’s direct market knowledge of the waste management market, internet search engines and the UK Government Planning Portal1 a survey has revealed a total of 87 ACT projects in the UK with the intent of treating MSW or C&I wastes, in various states of realisation. Whilst some of these facilities are delayed in their development – and some are even moribund, - 23 of them are progressing, and a further 28 have a chance of moving into development and operating at some time in the future - a remarkable increase over a relatively short period of time. 37, however are considered to be moribund or have little chance of being developed, indicating that projections based on the number of projects announced or even for which planning permission is granted, overstates the likely growth in waste management infrastructure.

The decline in local authority energy from waste procurements under PFI and the Renewables Obligation (RO) with the incentives offered through Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs) has change the market for energy from waste infrastructure development. The competitive advantage provided to ACT by ROCs compared with combustion technologies has facilitated ACT schemes to come forward, but has also encourage a significant amount of speculation by potential developers. The outcome of the 2014 allocation round of Electricity Market Reform (EMR), with its use of auction to award Contracts for Difference (CfDs), indicates, however, that in the future only the more competitive developments will have any chance of receiving an incentive payment and it is expected that the more

speculative projects will fall away. Consequently, only a fraction of the 88 projects identified are expected to be realised.

3.0 Description of Survey and Results

The survey of ACT projects in the UK intended for the treatment of either MSW or C&I wastes is presented in Appendix 1.

The projects, which include both pyrolysis and gasification technologies, were identified from a combination of sources viz:

• Vismundi’s direct knowledge of the waste management marketplace and thecompany’s own involvement in some of those projects;

• Internet searches using key words and Google Alerts reporting pages relatedto energy from waste ;

• Trade publications such as MRW, Edie Environmental News, ENDS Reportetc;

• The UK Government Planning Portal, whose home page ishttp://www.planningportal.gov.uk/wps/portal/portalhome/unauthenticatedhome/!ut/p/c5/04_SB8K8xLLM9MSSzPy8xBz9CP0os3gjtxBnJydDRwMLbzdLA09nSw_zsKBAIwN3U_1wkA6zeHMXS4gKd29TRwNPI0s3b2e_AGMDAwOIvAEO4Gig7-eRn5uqX5CdneboqKgIAGUwqho!/dl3/d3/L2dBISEvZ0FBIS9nQSEh/

The survey was carried out over March 2014 to March 2015. Initial findings were reported at the IEA Task 36 at Harwell on 29th October 2014 in Vismundi presentation ” Drivers for Advanced Thermal Technologies – Why Gasification is booming in the UK”. At this time it was reported that over 100 pyrolysis and gasification projects had been identified. Subsequent refinement of the survey reclassified some projects as biomass rather than waste, and eliminated others considered to be “false” announcements and that have notr even received real consideration. As a consequence, the number of projects now identified as having some basis and proposed for the treatment of wastes as at March 2015 is 87.

The database presented in Appendix 1 is in the form of a spreadsheet table and provides the following information:

• Project reference – this is just an allocated number• Developer – the name of the company responsible for developing the project

as far as it is known.• Site name – the name by which the site is known• Address – postal address of the site• County - county, unitary authority or city in which the project lies• Country – England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland to allow a sort by

administration• Waste throughput (tpa) – tonnage of waste of thermal treatment process• Generation capacity (MW) – reported capacity of plant in MW electrical• Technology - the type of technology or the proprietary make if known• Programme – any information on programme timescales if known• Status – a short statement of the current position of the project• KR Comments – the personal view of the author.

• References – internet URLs referring to the project. These are given just aslinks to provide information. They are not comprehensive and in some casesmay not be reliable a number are press extracts.

The database shows the following:

1. Pyrolysis is not yet commonly used for waste treatment, although at times it isdifficult to differentiate between a pyrolysis stage (in near zero oxygen)followed immediately by combustion of the syngas and gasification (sub-stoichiometric combustion) followed by full combustion. The reason it is lesspopular than gasification is probably because it is endothermic and requiresenergy to be input to maintain stable reaction.

2. There are 88 identified projects as of March 2015. Of these, 61 are inEngland, 14 in Scotland, 10 in Wales and 3 in Northern Ireland.

3. Using the traffic light system, only 23 of the 87 projects are green with a highprobability of proceeding. 27 are amber and may or may not go ahead, but37 are red with a low probability of proceeding. This indicates how theconsidering the number of EFW projects alone, without considering thecontext in which they sit misleads evaluations of capacity versus availablewaste. It is the writer’s view that with the recent implementation of CfD underEMR, most of the amber projects are likely to falter.

4. The survey shows that gasification technology in particular, but also pyrolysishas become an accepted method of thermal treatment of waste and that theROC system has been successful in encouraging developers to considerACT.

5. There is a large number of pyrolyser and gasifier designs and more aredeveloped every year. It is apparent from the survey, however, that certainproprietary suppliers are beginning to dominate. Within the UK, the ACTtechnology suppliers that appear to be establishing themselves (inalphabetical order) are:

• Advanced Plasma Power• Alter NRG (plasma)• Biomass Power• Chinook Sciences• Energos• Kobelco• New Earth Technologies• Nexterra• Outotec• Valmet

Time will tell whether these will continue to develop ow whether some will fall by the wayside.

4.0 Changes in the UK Waste Management Market

The most significant change in the EfW market in the UK over the last three years has been the demise of local authority contracts under PFI. This has had two major impacts:

• The number of local authority procurements has drastically reducedand a number were even cancelled. Whilst there will continue to belocal authority tenders, (a) with some notable exceptions, most of theurban conurbations have the benefit of at least one EFW plant within acatchment distance and so the number of future plants required totreat MSW will be considerably less than has been procured in therecent past; and (b) the absence of PFI support disincentivises localauthorities to procure EfW plants for themselves and so there isgreater propensity to share or even adopt a more commercialapproach to disposal of their residual waste;

• The slow down in sales to local authorities implies that future EfWplant sales must rely on C&I treatment of waste. This is a verydifferent market than the MSW one and from a plant supplier’s point ofview, considerably more competitive, because a C&I collector hasmore choice of disposal route (including export), and is not driven byethical policy such as carbon footprint or proximity principle.

The result of the above is that the marketplace for EfW plant sales is dependent on C&I sales with the only driver being a financial one – ie to be competitive with landfill disposal or the cost of export. Despite local authority “best value” methodology, the fact is that PFI has allowed the capital cost of EfW to rise and the typical costs seen in PFI tenders is too high to be competitive in the C&I marketplace. To have a forward order book, it is now necessary for an EfW plant supplier/developer to make use of any financial support available wherever possible to reduce the impact of the capital cost on the gate fee.

5.0 The Renewables Obligation

The Renewables Obligation (RO) has been the main support mechanism for renewable electricity projects in the UK. Smaller scale generation is mainly supported through the Feed-in Tariff Scheme (FITS). The RO came into effect in 2002 in England and Wales, and Scotland, followed by Northern Ireland in 2005. It places an obligation on UK electricity suppliers to source an increasing proportion of the electricity they supply from renewable sources.

Renewables Obligation Certificates (ROCs) are “green” tradable certificates issued to operators of accredited renewable generating stations for the eligible renewable electricity they generate. Ultimately, they are used by electricity suppliers to demonstrate that they have met their obligation, but have no fixed value, but is worth around £46 per ROC in 2013/14 prices.

A full explanation of the RO and ROCs will not be given here, but needless to say, the ROC mechanism effectively subsidised ACT because the number of ROCs issued to each generator is determined according to not only the amount of electricity it generates, but also the type of technology it uses - each type falls under a ‘banding level’ indicating the number of ROCs issued for each MWh generated by that technology. Until 2014, the banding awarded ACT 2 x ROCs, which is now regressing and in 2016 will be 1.8 x ROCs. However, because it is considered to be an established technology, EfW combustion is awarded no ROCs. Hence, if by way of example, the wholesale price of electricity is say £50/MWh and a ROC is worth £46, even after regression, an ACT would receive £132.30/MWh for the renewable content of its waste fuel, whereas a combustion EfW plant would receive just £50 – whereas the gate-fee received by each could be more or less the same.

Hence, with a shift in the marketplace created by the end of PFI and the strong incentive towards ACT provided by ROCs led to many developers starting to consider pyrolysis and gasification technologies. As successful experience in operating such plants in Northern Europe and Japan became known, projects involving ACT started to come forward.

For energy from waste and ACT, ROCs will no longer be available unless the plant is commissioned and accepted by Ofgem by 31st March 2017 unless it has been awarded a “grace period”, in which case the longstop date is 31st March 2018. After this date, all projects with ROCs will be grandfathered and all new projects will need to apply for a CfD (see Section 8 below). Announcement of the end of ROCs was made by DECC in October 2012.

Following the announcement of EMR in July 2011 and the ending of ROCs, with no details available of what EMR would bring, a surge in ACT developments occurred, including a number that were purely speculative. Now that EMR is implemented and we are now in the transition period when operators may choose between the two, it can be expected that the rush for ACT will slow down and the longstop date for ROCs approaches and plants cannot be built and commissioned in time, by Q3 2015, it can be expected that all new ACT developments will fall under EMR.

6.0 Electricity Market Reform and Projected Impacts

The objective of Electricity Market Reform is to deliver the more renewable energy and reliable supply, while minimising costs for consumers in the long term. The intent is to transform the UK electricity sector to one in which low-carbon generation can compete with conventional, fossil-fuel generation.

The mechanism for achieving this is called “Contract for Difference” (CfD). The full scope of EMR and CfD is too extensive to report here, but in essence, new energy from waste developments requiring to avail themselves of:

(a) a subsidy to boost the value of electricity sales; and

(b) an off-take contract that protects them from exposure to the wholesale electricity market,

will need to undertake a bidding process in an auction under what is known as an “allocation round”. Details of the allocation process can be found on the DECC website at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/electricity-market-reform-contracts-for-difference

To win a CfD, a project has to bid within a “pot”. In 2014, Pot 1 was for more established technologies, Pot 2 for emerging technologies and Pot 3 for dedicated biomass. Energy from Waste with CHP was in Pot 1, and ACT was in Pot 2, in competition with offshore wind and biomass with CHP.

Budgets were set for each pot and starting with the lowest bid price and progressing upwards, projects were accepted and awarded a CfD until the budget was exceeded (ie bid price/MW x capacity). The project “breaking the bank” was then removed, the auction terminated and a strike price awarded to all successful bidders at the highest bid price accepted under the pot for each of the years 2016, 2017 and 2018, depending on when the project is to be be commissioned.

The 2014 allocation round has just completed and the CfD Register has been issued. It is of note that :

(a) Combustion EfW is not supported unless it is accompanied by CHP;

(b) Two EfW with CHP projects were successful, but both are associated with paper mills to take the heat and can probably be considered as being exceptional;

(c) Only three ACT projects were successful, at a strike price of £114/MWh at the price basis date (equivalent to approximately £120/MWh at current day prices);

It is unlikely that the structure of the allocation round process will change in the foreseeable future. Therefore, ACT projects that require support above say £120/MWh will not win a CfD and therefore will not be developed. This implies that only the larger, more efficient ACT projects will be developed until such time the support mechanism is changed, if it ever is.

6.0 Conclusions

The database of ACT projects in the UK as at March 2015 has been presented along with the writer’s view of their likely probability of being developed. There are 87 projects identified, but only 23 have a high probability of being developed.

The reason for the surge in ACT projects has been explained. It has been described how the move away form PFI support for local authority procurements, the new importance of the C&I waste marketplace, the RO and support given by ROCs to ACT, the ending of ROCs and the impending introduction of EMR have all conspired to encourage developers to propose ACT projects – a number of them purely speculative.

Lastly the impact of EMR has been discussed and the CfD allocation round mechanism described. It is now expected that the number of ACT projects coming forward will significantly slow down and it is possible that no new combustion EfW plants will be developed unless they are accompanied by a distributed energy system or some form of CHP.
