Aeternum is currently developing a number of Energy Parks in the UK.

Sustainable, integrated recycling and renewable energy schemes are urgently required in the UK if we are to make the transition to a low carbon economy. Presently, schemes like this typically rely on PFI contracts and on single technologies (usually simple incineration), which are problematic and create by-products requiring further treatment.

Aeternum's Energy Parks, a common concept in Northern Europe and Scandinavia, are a fully integrated facility to completely eliminate the need for landfill, taking the materials that would be buried and turning them into either re-useable products or energy and heating for local industry and homes.

The Energy Park brings together recycling and biomass renewable energy creation, firstly separating materials, then creating green electricity, re-useable heat and output products through material recovery.

Aeternum is committed to a complete recycling and remanufacturing process at Castleford and this would be the first, sustainable, zero-waste, low carbon Energy Park of its kind in the UK.

In total the UK produces about 330 million tonnes of waste a year, a quarter of which is from homes and business.

Aeternum's vision for its Energy Parks is a commitment to deliver community-led solutions to waste in an integrated, innovative, and sustainable way. Our sites are typically of a 'regional scale' and offer significant regeneration opportunities through private investment and skilled long term employment for its communities.
