Energy Works
Constructed on the banks of the River Hull, Energy Works (Hull) is an Advanced Gasification Energy Recovery Facility. Combining a mix of innovative renewable energy technologies, Energy Works will demonstrate the latest in efficient recycling and energy generation. Spencer Group was the developer of the scheme, creating the initial design concepts, gaining planning permission and sourcing funding.

Outcome
Energy Works (Hull) will produce sufficient baseload electricity to power the equivalent of 43,000 homes; process 240,000 tonnes of waste per year; regenerate a brownfield site; create 25 permanent jobs once operational and help the UK lower it’s net carbon emissions.
The development also incorporates an educational “Energy Academy”, providing modern research and development facilities in collaboration with Hull University. The partnership will support two full-time PhD students whilst offering schools and the local community opportunities to learn about the importance of building sustainable infrastructure.
