I am delighted to have Ervington as a strategic shareholder. Mr. Abramovich’s connections and business network will expand our market reach and his desire to invest in certain projects provides much needed capital to the industry to fuel its growth. I am looking forward to working closely with his team to continue to advance more energy efficient waste to energy solutions.

Walter Howard, CEO, Alter NRG Corp.

As with our first renewable energy plant, the availability of skilled labour, industrial land, good access to electrical infrastructure, and excellent road links were important factors in our decision to pursue an additional renewable energy plant in Teesside. Over the next three years, we would create up to 100 permanent jobs and work with local and national firms during construction. We estimate that over 1400 people would be employed during the construction of both plants.

In regards to the recently commissioned waste-to-energy facility in China, this is a significant reference plant that shows how our Westinghouse Plasma conversion technology has the ability to take a societal problem of waste products and convert it into useful renewable energy. China is a large market with aggressive mandates for renewable energy and we are excited by the interest in the region for waste-to-energy technology and the foothold we now have in the China market with Kaidi

Walter Howard, CEO, Alter NRG Corp.

I was delighted to play a small part in bringing the first Air Products plant, now under construction, to Teesside but to learn of this huge vote of confidence by the company in our area by confirming a potential second plant is quite stunning and will sustain hundreds of construction jobs over several years. It shows that Teesside is successful at attracting world class technologies and corporations that create jobs and support the country’s renewable energy agenda. By diverting waste from landfill the plant offers an environmentally-friendly solution for the production of renewable energy in the North East
