enfinium, a leading European energy-from-waste company, has announced a partnership with carbon registry Isometric on its Parc Adfer carbon capture and storage project.
Slated to become operational by 2030, this project is expected to generate 120,000 tonnes of highly durable carbon removal credits.
By selecting Isometric as its carbon registry partner, enfinium will ensure that the carbon credits generated via this project are transparent and in line with the most rigorous accounting methodologies.
Commenting on this exciting new venture, Karl Smyth, Director of External Affairs & Strategic Policy at enfinium, said, “The Parc Adfer project will be amongst the first engineered carbon removal projects in the UK to generate high-integrity carbon removal credits at a scale meaningful to the climate.”
“By selecting Isometric as the project’s carbon registry, we are sending a clear signal to buyers and regulators that these credits will adhere to the highest standard of scientific rigor.”
Located in Deeside, Flintshire, Parc Adfer is enfinium’s combined heat and power facility that processes up to 232,000 tonnes of residual waste every year.
Set on a mission to tackle carbon emissions and decarbonize residual waste in North Wales, enfinium has announced an investment of more than $250 million (£200M) to install a carbon capture and storage system at this site, with plans to generate carbon removal credits.
To be able to make this vision a reality, the project has applied as one of the funding candidates under the UK government’s Track-1 HyNet Expansion program.

Through its partnership with Isometric, enfinium will also embark on a working group collaboration focused on developing an energy-from-waste protocol. As part of this joint project, enfinium will contribute with its expertise as a leading developer of waste-to-energy carbon capture and storage (WECCS).
This effort builds on Isometric’s initiative launched in December 2024, when the registry published a paper exploring how energy from waste combined with CCS could result in high-quality carbon removal credits from biodegradable waste that can’t be recycled, conditioned by a strict monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) approach.
