Ludlow would be 'ideal location' for cutting edge green energy plant - councillors
Three councillors in the Ludlow area have joined forces to argue in favour of locating a cutting edge pyrolysis plant in the town.
Only last week Shropshire Council approved in principle that the green energy plant will be based either in Ludlow, Bridgnorth or Shrewsbury.
The pyrolysis process is the thermal decomposition of materials at elevated temperatures, often in an inert atmosphere. A byproduct can be used as a soil improver.
Three Ludlow councillors are putting the case forward for the plant to be located on the former biodigester site at Coder Road. One says the town is the ideal place to put the green technology.
Councillor Richard Huffer, Shropshire councillor for Clee and a farmer, said: "This could be an important opportunity.
"There are still a large number of people employed in the biodigestion in the area.
"We have the skills base in Ludlow to make this technology a success.
