Tata Chemicals Europe Secures £480 Million Lostock Plant Funding

Tata Chemicals Europe (TCE) has secured funding for a proposed energy from waste (EFW) plant to be built at its Lostock, site in Northwich, UK. The soda ash manufacturer reached an agreement with a joint venture formed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and FCC Environment Group. They have formed a joint enterprise called the Lostock Sustainable Energy Plant (LSEP)which will fund and own the EFW. LSEP will turn residual waste, left over after the recyclable material has been removed, into energy. The plant is set to create hundreds of new jobs in the area as well as supplying steam to Tata's manufacturing plant on the site.
