Information for Derby Alternative Energy Plant, Victory Road, Sinfin
Status: PreventedPlanning Region: East Midlands
Planning Sub-Region: Derby
Operator: Clean Electricity Generation (CEG) who are funded by Momentum Capital and Transformative Energy and Materials Capital (TEM Capital)
Capacity: 30,000
Campaign Group(s): Derby FoE and Sinfin and Spondon Against INcineration (SSAIN)
Notes: In January 2023 the operator "elected to defer permit review" and in October 2023 a permit variation was issued to CEG Technology UK for the Derby Alternative Energy Plant requiring a report to be submitted showing compliance with the updated BAT Conclusions before the incinerator can be operated. A "full scale demonstration plant" was built which uses "Proprietary Torrefaction Reactor Technology" to use generate syngas from biomass which is burned in a gas engine to supposedly generate electricity and "Torrefied Pellets" [Source, Source]. According to the operator, "Torrefaction is thermal treatment of biomass in an environment with low oxygen content" [Source]. The permit was surrendered in August 2024. (Entry updated 2024-09-02)

Click here to see the incinerator compliance documents for existing English incineratorsStandard notice:
UKWIN (and therefore the UKWIN map) focuses on Municipal Waste Incinerators, whereas our colleagues at Biofuelwatch focus on biomass projects. If you are interested in biomass incinerators (including waste wood plants) over 20MW then please see the Biofuelwatch map of UK Biomass Power Stations. Those concerned about biomass plants, including waste wood plants, should email Biofuelwatch at biofuelwatch[at]gmail.com.Please be aware: There is always room for improvement, so please send updates to coordinator@ukwin.org.uk. Existing Incinerator means a facility that is operational or under construction/commissioning. A Potential Incinerator is a facility where there is a proposal for an incinerator (e.g. planning application or planning consent) or other reason to believe an incinerator might be built/proposed in the future. A Prevented Incinerator is something which used to be a proposal or expected incinerator which we do not believe is currently being progressed (e.g. because the project was cancelled, planning permission refused, or years have gone by since the permission was granted without any progress) - in some cases a facility marked as prevented is being progressed without us being aware or is subsequently revived. Capacity is usually the permitted or maximum advertised capacity of the facility.
