Waste-to-gas plant in Swindon to resume construction
An unfinished waste-to-gas facility in Swindon, UK has secured GBP10 million (US$12.5 million) in funding, allowing construction to restart after the previous operators went into administration.
The new funding has been provided by Advanced Biofuel Solutions, supported by the Department for Transport and Cadent. Advanced Biofuel Solutions anticipates the plant to be of service during the second half of 2020.
The companies initially involved in the plant were the National Grid, Advanced Plasma Power (APP) and Progressive Energy. These three set up Go Green Fuels for the development of the plant, with construction beginning in 2017. However, the company went into administration in 2018 when the costs spiraled. The project was suspended for the next 14 months.
