The proposal was for the construction of a new gasification facility for the treatment of refuse derived fuel (RDF) produced within the existing Waste Management site (Enviroparc). The facility was the first of its kind in Northern Ireland and formed part of the overall waste management process undertaken at the Maydown plant in Derry.
