Encyclis Receives Approval for Carbon Capture Plant at Rookery South in Bedfordshire
Encyclis has secured planning approval to build a full-scale carbon capture plant at its Rookery South Energy Recovery Facility in Bedfordshire, marking a significant step in decarbonising the UK waste sector. This facility will capture carbon dioxide from flue gases and is designed to process up to 657,000 tonnes of waste annually, generating approximately 60 megawatt hours of electricity for the National Grid. Rookery South follows an agreement for a similar facility at Protos in Cheshire, establishing a carbon capture-enabled network in Encyclis' Midlands cluster.

Encyclis has received planning permission to construct a full-scale carbon capture plant at its Rookery South Energy Recovery Facility in Bedfordshire. Central Bedfordshire Council approved the project, which is part of Encyclis' effort to decarbonise the UK waste sector.
This decision follows an agreement with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero for the UK's first full-scale carbon capture facility at Protos in Cheshire, establishing Rookery South as the second carbon capture-enabled site in Encyclis' Midlands cluster. The Rookery South facility, which has processed over two million tonnes of waste since January 2022, is designed to capture carbon dioxide from flue gases produced during waste combustion. The facility can treat up to 657,000 tonnes of waste annually and generate approximately 60 megawatt hours of electricity for the National Grid.
