TEG Group secures funding for London organic waste facility
The TEG Group has secured funding to construct a £21m organic waste facility at East London’s Dagenham Dock in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.
This will include central London’s first Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plant.
According to a statement, the new facility will be capable of processing 49,000 tonnes per annum of food and green waste via AD and In-vessel composting (IVC) technology on a 4.7-acre site on the Mayor of London’s 60-acre London Sustainable Industries Park (LSIP). The mayor has committed more than £10m for infrastructure development on this site, with the TEG scheme first to benefit.
The Dagenham facility will comprise a 30,000 tonnes per annum AD plant and a 19,000 tonnes per annum IVC plant. This will be the first AD plant in central London and will generate approximately 1.4MW of electricity, which will be used by the park’s tenants.
It will also produce more than 36,000 tonnes per annum. of AD digestate and 14,000 tonnes per annum of compost for agricultural use.
The feedstock will come from source segregated food waste and mixed food and green waste produced by local households, commercial and manufacturing enterprises.
