Yet another dumb pie in the sky plastic to hydrogen project has been announced, supposedly the first of eleven - fnuh, snort, chortle.
Believe it when you see it because you're more likely to grow a third set of teeth than witness this land of make believe opening.
Peel Environmental and Waste2Tricity have got the planning green light for the UK’s first waste plastic to hydrogen facility.
The new plant using ground-breaking technology in the UK for the first time will be built at the 54-hectare Protos site near Ellesmere Port. It is the first of up to 11 waste plastic to hydrogen facilities, representing an investment of more than £130m, planned to be built in the UK.
The £7m development will see over 100 jobs created in the North West during fabrication and construction. Following planning consent, a start on site is expected in Autumn 2020 with the facility due to be operational in 2021
Once built the technology promises to treat up to 35 tonnes of unrecyclable plastics a day to create hydrogen for clean fuel for buses, HGVs and cars.
Myles Kitcher, Managing Director at Peel Environmental, said: “The technology has been proven at Thornton Science Park and will now be commercialised at Protos, before being rolled out across the UK - Link
