Operator: Hydrogen TE (Manston) Ltd
Capacity: 44,000 (minimum)
Campaign Group(s): Contact coordinator@ukwin.org.uk to be put in touch with those opposing this development.
Notes: Planning application for a plasma-gasification/thermochemical waste-to-hydrogen plant submitted to Kent County Councl in 2026 (KCC/TH/0050/2026). The project is claimed to be using technology "developed by Plagazi, in partnership with HTE" to convert "waste streams (such as plastics, automotive shredder residue, tyres, medical waste and certain municipal solid waste) into fuel-cell-grade hydrogen, captured CO2, and inert aggregate".

Environment Agency Compliance Assessment Reports
View the full UKWIN incinerator compliance indexStandard 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.
