Cory is one of the UK’s leading recycling and waste management companies.
We ensure that London and the South East has a safe, clean and sustainable way of managing its recyclable and non-recyclable waste, using our unique river-based infrastructure.
Working with Vattenfall and the London Borough of Bexley, Cory is developing a district heat network to heat up to 21,000 homes.
The project presents a watershed moment in London’s decarbonisation journey by transforming how a large part of the city is supplied with heat.
Cory’s existing Riverside 1 EfW facility at Belvedere, South East London, will provide up to 30MW of heat for up to 10,500 homes in the London Borough of Bexley and the Royal Borough of Greenwich via the proposed heat network.
Current progress
Cory’s planned Riverside 2 EfW facility, which will be located next to the existing one, is now under consutruction and will be able to supply an additional 10,500 homes with 30MW of low-carbon heat.
Harnessing the heat from the two facilities could make the heat network one of the largest in the UK, supplying a total of 21,000 homes with low-carbon heat
