Project location

The project location is to the southwest of our manufacturing facility in Rhymney. The land is currently used for grazing, which means that the new proposed use will both complement existing activities and enable diversification of use by the farmer.

To maximise the efficiency of the scheme, the project location needs to be situated adjacent to our manufacturing facility. This will allow us to send the electricity generated directly from the energy hub to our plant.
There is known to be coal beneath the site, and it has formerly been the subject of a planning application to extend existing surface mining activities in the area. The project will effectively secure this coal in the ground, where it can remain for future generations.

Convatec wants to be part of the delivery of a greener future for the Rhymney Valley that focuses on the use of renewable energy and innovation to supportsustainable manufacturing and technology.

Caring for our environment is a key consideration as we bring forward our plans for the Convatec Green Manufacturing Hub.

We have undertaken a range of environmental studies to ensure we have identified any potential impacts and put in place appropriate mitigation measures if necessary. Further information on these studies is available on the exhibition boards and in the draft application documents, which can be viewed at our public exhibitions and on this website.
