Knowing that Copinhill is leading the waste-to-energy transformation, in addition to the population go skiing, is impressive. It is the efficient way of managing waste that cannot be recycled into energy, capturing greenhouse gases and emitting only steam into the environment.

This is exactly why I support Scottish independence. Scotland is very similar in size to Denmark, Norway, and Finland, and there definitely is political will for centre-left progressive politics which seems to be missing in England. Since our parliament was set up in 1999 we have copied Scandinavian land reform and freedom to roam legislation, eradicated knife crime and gang culture in Glasgow by treating it as a public health issue instead of a criminal issue. We have made university tuition free, copied Finland's baby box scheme, made period products free, 600 free hours of childcare, free prescriptions and hospital parking, free personal care, free bus travel for under 19s as well as pensioners, the Scottish child payment, 90% of our electricity from renewable sources and to pay for all this we have adopted a Danish style taxation system. Even today it has just been announced that our train operator, Scotrail will be nationalized. Independence is the next logical step in our quest to build the sort of country we want rather than continuing with the pathetic tory mess that we haven't voted for since 1955

@CandyHawk04 жыл бұрын
@@Nearhi Unfortunately, carbon capture & storage is a very expensive process. First you need to capture the CO2 and liquefy it by compressing & cooling it (which is relatively easy, but requires a lot of energy). Then you actually have to store the 131000 tons per year of liquified CO2 deep underground so it doesn't boil away. Liquid CO2 has a density of ~1.1 metric tons per cubic meter, and so this plant alone would require 119000 cubic meters of deep underground space every single year to operate. So for this idea to work, they would have to blast out a new massive ~50x50x50 meter chamber deep underground every single year. You only need to look at the cost of excavating modern metro stations (which are relatively close to the surface) to realize how impractical that would be. I think carbon capture has some potential in places where there already are depleted natural gas wells (like the USA), as the already existing underground cavities can be used to store CO2 at a much, much more feasible price. But I doubt very much that they will ever manage to capture all the CO2 from this plant, let alone by 2025. To me it would make much more sense to go for power generation methods that doesn't create CO2 in the first place.

Nuclear, on the other hand, does not release any CO2 or other toxic gases. The waste is dangerous if not stored properly, but with modern generation 4 reactors it is only dangerous for a few centuries (and currently existing waste can be used as fuel). Considering our other options are to either 1) not have electricity and return to the stone age or 2) suffer the consequences of a worst-case climate scenario, I think nuclear sounds pretty ok, especially with next gen tech.

This is the best done waste-to-energy plant I am aware of, however, waste-to energy is a very bad idea, overall. They are clear that they have scrubbed the air, but speak not at all about the concentrations of toxins that will be in the ash, or of the ash itself. They mention the vast number of trucks moving the waste to the plant, but do not mention the emissions from that trucking, or the impacts on neighborhoods of that transportation. Waste-to-Energy should be a last resort, very last. Too many people and governments see this as a fix-all for our energy problems and for sustainability, but it is just a more sophisticated way of throwing value "away" and acting like we meant it from the start, and are masters of our own mistakes. We did not and we are not. We can benefit so much more from material management, and we are creating HUGE risks in consolidating so many materials, including chemical compositions, into ash...
@christiansebastianlauritse24042 жыл бұрын
The waste that is burned is the left-over waste AFTER recycling. Over 3/4 of all waste in Denmark is recycled, and Denmark has to import wast from England to keep the plant going. The problem is that a lot of waste CAN'T be recycled. If you landfill organic waste it decomposes and traps CO2, whereas if you burn it it becomes heat and hot-water and you can filter out the CO2. That also had the added effect of not having to burn fossil fuel to create heat and hot water. win-win. As for the trucks etc, it's kin of a self-defeating point. Is the logic that unless every single part of a process can be 100% clean we souldn't bother doing anything? The powerplant doesn't produce trucks - it produces power.

In Denmark we only burn what cannot be recycled.

Further more, many major factories in Denmark are currently taking steps to use biogas (from the recycled organic materials) and re-use the heat they are producing, to heat up local households. About the toxic filters, I don't know the answer. But i bet it's handled in a better way than just letting it out and polluting the air.
