CPI — shortlist for international award

The facility is the first of its type in the UK, and fits with the Government’s goal of being the greenest ever. Reducing carbon emission, providing energy security and generating green jobs, the Government’s aim is to be ambitious with its implementation of AD technology. CPI’s ADDC embodies this bold approach.

The IChemE awards are global in reach and recognise all aspects of chemical, process and biochemical engineering. Widely regarded as the most coveted industry awards throughout the process industries, IChemE Chief Executive David Brown says: ​“The IChemE awards go from strength to strength and it’s been another strong year in terms of entries. To be shortlisted for an award demonstrates high achievement and I offer my congratulations to all of the shortlisted participants.”

The award nomination comes off the back of the Deputy Prime Minister’s recent confirmation that CPI will play a vital role in the formation of the UK’s first Technology Innovation Centre, in the area of High Value Manufacturing, and is further recognition of CPI as it continues to meet its tough goals and expand the horizons of innovation.

CPI Chief Executive, Nigel Perry, says: ​“This is excellent recognition for CPI’s work in the design, build and implementation of its Anaerobic Digestion Development Centre. Anaerobic digestion has an increasingly important role to play in the UK’s waste-to-energy drive and low carbon transition, and the ADDC provides a vital one-stop shop for those seeking to develop sustainable low carbon alternatives to traditional energy production. CPI is delighted to be shortlisted for an award that attracts entries from innovative projects of an increasingly high standard.”
