Ludlow will be the preferred site for a council-run ‘pyrolysis plant’, Shropshire Council has said.
The authority has earmarked £2million of capital expenditure to develop a pyrolysis plant in the county, a process which turns waste wood and manure into a product known as ‘biochar’.
The council says Ludlow has now been selected as the potential location for the main council-run scheme, while the demonstrator project is on track to begin operating in September. “A procurement process to seek to award a contract for the design, procurement, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance of a biomass pyrolysis plant is now under-way.
The council has earlier said it will generate an estimated £133k per year through the sale of biochar from the site.
