enfinium, one of the UK’s leading energy from waste (EfW) operators, has announced the next phase of its carbon capture and storage (CCS) pilot programme, advancing its commitment to deliver CCS across its facilities.
One of the projects, located at enfinium’s Parc Adfer facility in Flintshire, North Wales, will be the only active carbon capture pilot in Wales and the first pilot deployed in the wider HyNet industrial cluster.
In April 2025, enfinium will relocate the CCS pilot plant currently at its Ferrybridge-1 facility in West Yorkshire to Parc Adfer.
The pilot plant will be installed and operated by Kanadevia Inova, a leading global clean technology company.
The Parc Adfer facility is a candidate for grant support through the UK government’s Track-1 HyNet Expansion programme and could accelerate economic growth and decarbonisation in North Wales subject to a positive decision from the government in the coming months.
A new pilot plant will subsequently be installed at Ferrybridge by Nuada, a British technology company scaling an innovative metal-organic framework (MOF) technology that captures carbon dioxide from point sources through a vacuum swing process.
This innovation has the potential to deliver significant efficiencies when deployed at a commercial scale.
Both pilot projects will run for at least six months and form part of enfinium’s broader ambition to deploy CCS across its six UK facilities, underpinned by investment to help achieve net zero emissions.

Mike Maudsley, CEO of enfinium, said: “To achieve net zero, the UK needs to produce carbon removals at scale. Energy from waste will play a critical role in delivering the millions of tonnes of durable carbon removals that are necessary for the UK to achieve net zero.
"By supporting the development of carbon capture technologies, we are advancing innovation in the UK while building our own understanding as we progress with our plans to deploy CCS across our six UK facilities.”
