UK Energy-from-Waste operator enfinium diverted over two million tonnes of unrecyclable waste from landfill in 2023, according to its “Delivering a Sustainable Tomorrow” report.
In its latest ESG (environmental, social, and governance) report, “Delivering a Sustainable Tomorrow”, enfinium outlined new ESG targets for the next three years, in line with wider plans to deliver carbon removals at scale for the UK.
In 2023, enfinium said it prevented 456,320 tonnes of emissions from entering the atmosphere.
enfinium committed to achieving net zero across its operations by 2033, as outlined in its Net Zero Transition Plan.
The 2023 ESG report highlights enfinium’s progress towards net zero, which includes installing gale breakers at its Ferrybridge 1 site which it said significantly enhanced the energy efficiency of its operations.
enfinium also reported a 37% reduction in Scope 2 emissions, which it said was achieved by moving to a 100% REGO-backed tariff for all imported electricity across the operational fleet.
enfinium is on an ambitious journey to decarbonise its operations and deliver high-quality carbon removals at scale for the UK.
The Energy-from-Waste (EfW) operator said its wider ambition is to transform its facilities into local “decarbonisation hubs”, powered by the millions of tonnes of unrecyclable waste.
These decarbonisation hubs will also contribute to heat networks, private wire, and generate electrolytic hydrogen, enfinium said.
Utilising its existing EfW infrastructure and carbon capture and storage technology, enfinium predicted it has the potential to produce up to 1.2 million tonnes of carbon removals by 2039.
Mike Maudsley, Chief Executive Officer of enfinium, commented: “I am incredibly proud of the progress we have been able to report on our ESG goals from the last year.
“enfinium is on an ambitious journey to decarbonise its operations and deliver high-quality carbon removals at scale for the UK, and so it is important that we monitor progress against these plans.
“I would like to thank the efforts of all enfinium employees whose tireless efforts have helped us along.”
