Biomass plant 'will not reduce air quality'
Aug 17 2010
Forth Energy is set to lodge its proposals with the Scottish government later today (August 17th 2010) to construct a plant in Dundee that it hopes will provide 86 per cent of the city with electricity.
The facility, which will have a 300-foot chimney, will burn renewable energy fuel sources using heat the site produces, which will help Dundee reduce its carbon footprint.
However, protestors such as Residents Against Tay Turbines have spoken against the proposals, saying that it will increase the levels of air pollution for the city, according to the Courier.
Speaking to the newspaper, the energy firm stated that its studies measuring emissions from the plant have shown that it will have "no significant effect" on air quality.
Forth Energy has also claimed that it can help Scotland make progress with its renewable energy targets to provide 50 per cent of the country's electricity by means of renewable energy sources.
