Dear Mr Seaman

RE YOUR REQUEST 3901 UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000/
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REGULATIONS 2004

Thank you for your recent request which is set out as follows. I apologise
for the delay in responding.

How much R D F was combusted in the gasifier at the "Eco Park" at
Shepperton each month between January and July 2020?

How much gas oil was burnt to support the operation of the gasifier during
each of those months?

How much electricity was generated by the gasifier during each of those
months and how much was exported each month? 

We consider that your request for information falls to be considered as a
request for information under the Environmental Information Regulations
2004 (“EIR”)

We confirm that Surrey County Council does hold some of the information
requested and this is set out below.

RDF Combusted

Gasifier Tonnes in (Weighbridge weights into the Pre Treatment System)

The gasifier will typically process around 80% of the input waste stream
and therefore from January 2020 to date around 12,551T would have been
processed through the gasification plant

Gasoil

The provision of oil for running the Gasifier is currently wholly the
responsibility of M+W and therefore we do not currently hold this
information.

Electricity Generation

We do not hold information on electricity generated only the amount
exported, which is as follows.

Meter No. …6261 is the Gasifier Turbine (Export).

Meter No. …6280 is the AD CHPs (Export)

We supply this information based on your original request. Please do not
hesitate to contact me if you have any queries regarding the information
enclosed.  Remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.
 
If you are unhappy with the handling of your request for information and
wish to make a complaint or request a review of our decision, in the first
instance you should contact the County Council, quoting your request
number given above, at:
