Viridor

About

Viridor is a UK resource recovery and recycling company (majority-owned by KKR) operating the country’s largest fleet of energy-from-waste facilities plus plastics reprocessing sites. Its Runcorn CCS project, tied into the HyNet cluster, aims to capture ~900,000 tCO2/yr (~450,000 t/yr biogenic, i.e. negative emissions) from an existing EfW plant. Waste management is the core business; CCS/BECCS is an adjacent decarbonisation project.
