Credential Secures Fuel Market for Waste Tyres
     
 
Credential Automotive has subject to approval from the Environment Agency , struck a five year deal with Derbyshire based kiln operator Tarmac Buxton Lime and Cement near Buxton to supply tyre chip to the facility.

The deal will see Credential supplying up to 30,000 (4.5 million tyres) tonnes of tyre chip a year to the plant. Which is equivalent to a quarter of the tyres handled by Credential and roughly a third of the fuel used by the kiln.

An option is in place to extend the agreement for another 5 years.

 
 

The agreement has been made after almost 9 months of extensive trials which managed to meet all the critical success factors set by the Environment Agency.

Through the trails it has managed to reduce the use of fossil fuels used by the plant and reduced nitrogen oxide emissions by 15%.

The project was closely monitored by the Environment Agency as part of the process of application to use tyre chips as fuel.

A 70 page trial report is currently being considered by the Environment Agency which is expected to approve the application shortly.
