A £2 million plan for Shropshire Council to develop a carbon-saving pyrolysis plant has been backed by councillors.
The project will see the authority become the first in the country to have its own pyrolysis unit, and marks a major step towards its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2030.The facility, to be based in either Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth or Ludlow, is expected to more than halve the council’s carbon footprint, bring in extra income and provide green energy to local businesses.
“In some cases this results in some areas not being managed as effectively as they could be, in the best interests of biodiversity. With the volume of green waste the council collects from households and its own countryside sites and roadside verges, there is potential to scale up the project by adding more units to the original site, as well as creating new sites created across the county.
“I am glad to see at least from this report that we are not taking a lead from that atrocious speech.” However some concerns were raised that councillors had not been given enough information about the scheme before being asked to vote on it.
