OSLO – March 28, 2022 – Green Transition Holding (GTH), an industrial and environmental technology company, has signed an Exclusivity Agreement and Heads of Terms for a 50-year lease with Kilbride Resources, securing an industrial site permitted for the construction and operation of an Energy-from-Waste (EfW) facility near Birmingham, UK. 

Hams Hall facility will handle approximately 150,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste per year and generate up to 150 GWh of electricity to replace natural gas and coal fired electricity. 

The site has an approved planning permit to construct and operate an EfW facility, significantly reducing the project development and execution risk. The parties expect to sign a final Agreement for Lease in Q2 2022 and target financial close and start of construction in 2023, with expected completion and start of operations in 2025. 

Landfilled waste – one of the largest environmental issues in the world
An estimated 25% of all global warming today can be contributed to methane emissions from human activity. This is largely caused by the fact that methane is 84-86 times more effective than CO2 at trapping heat in the atmosphere1. Out of the 340 million tonnes of methane emissions originating from human activity annually, approximately 16% derive from landfill as waste left to decompose generates methane leaking directly into the atmosphere. 

- Eliminating methane emissions from landfilling is a key priority for GTH, says CEO Paal Skoe. Diverting waste streams from landfill to EfW facilities such as the Hams Hall reduces GHG emissions by approximately 70% and replaces fossil fuels with local-to-local energy. 

Proprietary technology
The new facility will deploy a proprietary, advanced 2-stage gasification combustion technology. The technology provides higher efficiency and lower emissions compared to traditional one-stage incineration plants and has been proven at scale over the last 20 years. The modular set up is “CCS ready” and offers a flexible and carbon-neutral waste handling solution for the future.
