Notes: Proposal for a plastic-fuelled gasification-type incinerator using Powerhouse Energy technology which also includes some hydrogen production. Planning Application submitted to West Dunbartonshire Council in August 2021 (DC21/217/FUL). In June 2022 the Planning Committee voted in favour of approving the application, but this application was called-in by the Scottish Government due to various policy concerns and the application was subsequently withdrawn by the Applicant in December 2022 (See NOD-160-001 case details). The Applicant has not publicly stated whether or not they expect to re-submit their proposal, but at least for now it has been prevented. (Entry updated 2022-12-15)

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.
