Novera is developing renewable energy from waste projects to compliment its established landfill business and mirror the evolution of the waste industry from landfill gas.
Differing technologies will be used according to the individual project needs: gasification, combustion and anaerobic digestion. Utilising our proven development capability across all facets of a project from initial evaluation through planning, environmental permitting and financing, Novera has all the necessary skill sets required for the successful delivery of thermal projects - and their long term operation and maintenance.
ELSEF
Novera is the UK licence holder for Enerkem gasification technology. This has the potential to make a significant contribution to UK Waste disposal. Novera's first project using this technology is expected to be the East London Sustainable Energy Facility (ELSEF) project. The proposed plant will convert Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) (made from municipal waste left after recycling and composting) into a synthetic gas which will then be used to generate renewable electricity. ELSEF will generate more than 10 MW net of electricity for export to Ford's Dagenham complex utilising 90,000 t.p.a. of SRF supplied by the adjacent Shanks East London Bio-Mechanical Recovery Facility.

The project has considerable support from the Greater London Authority, and is in line with national and regional policy, it will facilitate the diversion of waste away from traditional remote landfill to local and more environmentally acceptable, solutions.
Novera's ELSEF and subsequent projects offer a long term deliverable solution to our urban waste disposal issue.
