New Teesside Biomass Plant Gets Green Light
The government have given the go-ahead to the construction of a new GBP500 million biomass electricity generation plant on Teesside.
MGT Power say that the plant will be one of the largest biomass plants in the world, capable of generating enough electricity for around 600,000 homes.
The plant will use around 2.4 MMT of woodchips per annum and will operate 24 hours a day, all year round.
Where do you go to get 2.4 MMT of woodchips? They'll be shipped in from America, how green is that?
They could trawl the streets of Middlesbrough collecting and burning discarded Gregg's pastie bags instead, they'd get 2.4 MMT of them most weeks.
