enfinium, a UK energy from waste business, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Eni UK, the UK subsidiary of global energy company Eni S.p.A, to support the development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) at its Parc Adfer facility in North Wales.
By capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from its existing energy from waste infrastructure, enfinium has the potential to take significant volumes of emissions out of the atmosphere using CCS – known as ‘carbon removals’ or ‘negative emissions’, where biogenic material that has absorbed carbon from the atmosphere is permanently sequestered.
This agreement is the first step towards achieving this goal at Parc Adfer, one of Wales’s two energy from waste facilities.
