General – Acquisition
Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has made a final investment decision to acquire a combined pre-treatment and biogas plant from Ørsted.
The plant, situated in Northwich in the UK, currently consists of a pre-treatment facility that treats municipal solid waste and a biogas plant producing power to the grid.
Pending permits, CIP plans to refurbish the facility to become a biogas plant only and expand it with a new digester, biomethane upgrading units, and CO₂ capture technology, enabling the production of biomethane and liquid biogenic CO₂.
The expansion is expected to commence in 2026, and the upgraded plant is expected to be operational by 2028. Once fully operational, the upgraded biogas plant will process over 170,000 tons of feedstock annually.
