Bombardier submits application for east Belfast WTE plant

摘要

The UK's Department of the Environment (DoE) has asked aerospace firm Bombardier for more information on a planned WTE power station, which would provide electricity for its main factory in east Belfast, BBC News reported. The plant would convert one million tonnes of trash from Belfast and the surrounding area into heat and power using gasification technology. The plant would process 250,000 tonnes of trash per year, about 50 truck loads a day. The DoE also requested more environmental information about its plans. Bombardier wants to reduce its costs by generating its own energy.
