Greenergy establishing ELT facility in Teesside

Greenergy International Ltd. has submitted a planning application for two renewable fuel plants in Teesside, including a facility that utilises the company’s Green Tyre Technology (GTT) to produce recovered carbon black and low-carbon road and marine transport fuels from end-of-life tyres. The other facility will see Greenergy enter the Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) market, creating SAF from waste oils.

“The SAF and end-of-life tyres projects are part of Greenergy’s strategy to support the UK’s energy transition through the production and distribution of waste-derived renewable products,” explains Christian Flach, chief executive officer of Greenergy. “The location on Teesside will help us expand our presence in the area and create more local jobs.”

Councillor Nigel Cooke, Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council’s cabinet member for Regeneration and Housing adds: “These exciting plans are fantastic news for the Borough and if it’s approved, the hundreds of jobs and opportunities this project is set to create will bring a massive boost to the local economy. Stockton-on-Tees is the economic powerhouse of the Tees Valley and when you consider the easy transport access from rail or road, or international links via air or sea, it’s easy to see why businesses continue to be attracted to our area. This is another vote of confidence in our Borough, which is a great place to live and work.”

Both projects will be located adjacent to Greenergy’s existing Teesside biofuel manufacturing facility. Subject to the successful planning approval process, construction of the plants will begin in 2025 and commercial production will commence in 2027.
