Our Projects

2 projects fully designed, planning permission granted operating permits issued by the Environment Agency

ITI Teesside Project - Key Highlights

  • ITI owns 50% equity in the SPV.
  • Fully consented and permitted (Environmental Permit) site with grid connection points in place.
  • 6.86MW nett output capacity.
  • The feedstock is RDF. A major waste management company has indicated its willingness to supply the plant's full feedstock requirement at a gate fee payable to ITI. The waste management company will guarantee that at least 70% of the energy in the feedstock is from biomass, i.e. non-fossil fuel, sources.
  • Draft contracts are finalised with utility company and site owner who will provide grid connection, effluent discharge, gas and steam for reduced rent and a 7.5% profit share in the SPV.
  • EPC and O&M contracting to be provided by ITI.
  • Extensive conversations and due diligence performed with a number of potential financing counterparties for equity/debt, including a leading provider of asset finance who has submitted heads of terms.

ITI Nottingham Project - Key Highlights

  • V structure with a leading, independent developer of renewable energy projects.
  • Project comprises 6 ITI Gasifiers with internal combustion engines.
  • 11.4MW nett output capacity.
  • The feedstock is RDF. Feedstock contracting as per the Teesside project.
  • Full planning permission secured.
  • Fully permitted (IPPC) site.
  • Grid connection in place.
  • ITI to provide EPC and O&M services to the SPV.
  • Our client/partner is developing the site and will provide utilities.
  • A framework agreement is in place with our client/partner to develop a total of 6 sites utilising ITI technology.

We have a number of projects under development including one in North Derbyshire and another in the South West of England.

North Derbyshire - Key Highlights

  • ITI's second collaboration with the developer of the Nottingham project.
  • Project comprises 2 ITI Gasifiers with internal combustion engines.
  • 3.2MW nett output capacity.
  • The feedstock is locally sourced RDF.
  • Extremely positive reaction from the Local Planning Authority to the development proposal.
  • Environmental Permit in preparation - this is essentially a duplicate of the ITI Teesside application.
  • Grid connection in place.
  • ITI to provide EPC and O&M services to the SPV.
  • Our client/partner is developing the site and will provide utilities.
  • A framework agreement is in place with our client/partner to develop a total of 6 sites utilising ITI technology.

South West England - Key Highlights

  • ITI owns 50% equity in the SPV.
  • Project comprises 6 ITI Gasifiers with internal combustion engines.
  • 11.4MW nett output capacity.
  • The feedstock is locally sourced RDF.
  • Local Planning Authority very supportive of the outline proposal.
  • Environmental Permit in preparation - this is essentially a duplicate of the ITI Teesside application.
  • Draft contracts are finalised with utility company and site owner who will provide grid connection, effluent discharge, gas and steam.
  • EPC and O&M contracting to be provided by ITI.

ITI Project Site requirements

A typical stand-alone site, not adjacent to the point of supply of the fuel briquettes, will comprise a control building and messing facilities, weighbridge, fuel reception building, fuel storage building (with capacity for 5 days' plant operation), ash storage, gasifier and gas clean-up modules, water treatment equipment and chemical dosing, engines and generator sets, engine exhaust stack, flare stack, electrical switchgear and grid connection.

ITI's preference is to develop brownfield sites to deploy its gasification plants. Sites should be well served by road or have a railhead to accommodate fuel deliveries, have a grid connection capable of providing export capacity for the power generated as well as a modest import capacity to maintain essential systems when the site is not generating, a foul sewer connection for the disposal of liquid effluent and a water supply. The required site footprint area depends upon the shape of the site - a critical consideration is traffic movements and vehicle turning circles - and is obviously also influenced by the number of gasifiers and engines to be deployed. For illustrative purposes only a plant designed to export 10MW of electricity to the grid will require a site footprint of between 0.5 and 0.75 hectares.

Fuel volumes

Each gasifier will consume in the region of 12,000 tonnes of fuel per annum over the life of the plant. The solid waste residue from the gasification process, i.e. ash, will depend upon the fuel. The gasification of wood will result in an ash yield approximately 2 - 4% of the mass of the fuel consumed. ITI's fuel specification defines the maximum acceptable ash content in RDF.
