MetalNRG PLC (LSE:MNRG) said that the EQTEC Italia MDC waste-to-energy plant is on track to be recommissioned in the second quarter next year as previously scheduled.
The natural resources and energy investment company is part of a consortium of co-investors, led by EQTEC PLC (AIM:EQT), which recently formalised the intention to recommission the 1 MW biomass-to-energy plant in Tuscany, Italy.

The facility, originally commissioned in 2015, is built around EQTEC Advanced Gasification Technology and when operational, Italia MDC will transform straw and forestry wood waste sustainably sourced from local farms and forests into green electricity and heat for the local community.
EQTEC recently stated that recommissioning of the project is continuing on track.
Its technical team has been on site, completing engineering surveys, as well as meeting EPC partners and local stakeholders, the site has been fully cleaned and the disassembly of relevant components was completed earlier this month.
EQTEC Advanced Gasification Technology and associated technology items, including the syngas filter, water treatment unit, heat exchanges and thermal cracker reactor burner, have now been ordered and deliveries are due to start arriving in late November.
