Slough Multifuel Energy-From-Waste Facility Begins Operations

The title of this post, is the same as that of this news item from SSE Thermal.

This is the sub-heading.

SSE Thermal and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), partners of a new energy-from-waste facility in Slough, have entered commercial operations ahead of schedule.

This section from the news item describes the operation of the plant.

Slough Multifuel will produce electricity and heat through burning waste-derived fuels made from various sources of:

• municipal solid waste
• commercial and industrial waste
• waste wood

The 55 MW facility will divert thousands of tonnes of waste away from landfill. It will convert it into a valuable source of energy. The facility is expected to process around 480,000 tonnes of residual waste each year. The station will support the UK Government’s strategy to reduce landfill waste and the export of waste.

Effectively, it is a sophisticated state-of-the-art incinerator, that has been built by Hitachi Zosen Inova.

In an ideal world, everything would be recycled and there would be no landfill or incineration.

But that would only be possible in a green fascist state.
