Transforming Waste into Energy: UK’s Largest Pelletizing Plant

Founded in 2019, WKE enables large-scale energy users to significantly cut their energy costs while reducing carbon emissions and tackling the enormous amount of waste that ends up in landfills. In 2022 we began commissioning the UK’s largest waste pelletising plant, designed to deliver 250k tons per year

Governments around the world are setting tougher and tougher targets in relation to carbon dioxide reduction because of the impact on the climate. The UK and EU have a target of net zero greenhouse gasses by 2050. Currently, we’re on target to reach 37% reduction in emissions by the end of the year (2022). But the Climate Change Committee has said the government will have to ‘introduce more challenging measures’ if the UK is to meet net zero by 2050.

Thankfully, there is much innovation happening in alternative fuels for high-energy-using heavy industries, and WKE is at the forefront of creating a genuine, effective, consistent and reliable substitute for conventional forms of fuel.
