Canford MVV Incinerator
Canford MVV Incinerator
What is this site?
MVV UK, wants to burn up to 260,000 tonnes of non-hazardous waste each year in an incinerator known as an Energy from Waste Combined Heat and Power facility (EfW CHP). The facility will be Carbon Capture Retrofit Ready (CCRR).
Further details about the process proposed at Canford Resource Park can be found on the company's website at: MVV Canford Energy From Waste CHP Facility | Bournemouth, UK (mvv-canfordchp.co.uk)
What activities are covered by the environmental permit?
The proposed facility will use a moving grate system to burn waste to produce energy in the form of electricity and hot water. Power from this process will be exported to the National Grid.
Under current Government policy this is classed as a renewable source of electricity, as it uses waste that would otherwise go to landfill. To do this the company have applied to receive, store and handle non-hazardous waste on-site and to handle, store and transfer waste residues off-site.
How do we regulate this site and check for compliance?
In line with the permit conditions set we will undertake regular visits of the site to ensure compliance with conditions of the permit.
