Construction was completed<\/a> in April this year by Kanadevia Inova.<\/p>\nThe total investment of the project stands at \u00a3589 million, making it Indaver\u2019s largest EfW development.<\/p>\n
John Tatton, General Manager of Rivenhall IWMF, said: \u201cThe opening of the waste to energy element of Rivenhall IWMF culminates the first part of exciting times ahead for Indaver.<\/p>\n
\u201cMyself and my team are really proud to be part of Indaver\u2019s success and are looking forward to the challenge of operating this fantastic facility.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rivenhall EfW part of Indaver\u2019s larger plans<\/p>\n
Seamus Flynn, Director of Municipal Solid Waste Services for Ireland and the UK at Indaver, said the commissioning of the EfW plant was \u201conly the start of the story\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cWe\u2019ve now built a plant where we treat waste and produce energy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to look at how we best use the electricity, the heat, the carbon and the ash from the facility.\u201d<\/p>\n
Plans are already progressing for a major greenhouse development adjacent to the site, which would utilise heat, electricity and CO2 generated by the plant to produce food locally.<\/p>\n
The wider Rivenhall site is also being positioned as an educational and community resource, with school and local group visits already taking place and further visitor facilities under development to improve understanding of resource management and energy recovery.<\/p>\n
Indaver Rivenhall\u00a0secured the contract<\/a>\u00a0for Essex County Council\u2019s medium-term residual waste treatment, which began in April 2025. The agreement runs for seven years, with an option to extend for a further seven years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Located within a former quarry near Silver End, Witham, the Rivenhall Integrated Waste Management Facility (IWMF) will aim…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":652681,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1397,90,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-652680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=652680"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652680\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/652681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=652680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=652680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=652680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
