Our local MP for Sittingbourne and Sheppey, Gordon Henderson, learned how Biomass plants powered by waste wood can contribute to the UK,s energy security and net zero goals on a visit to MVV Environments Ridham Dock facility recently.

The 25MW combined heat and power biomass plant had opened in 2015 and processes 195,000 tonnes of end-of-life post-consumer waste wood each year into renewable electricity.

The visit was organised by MVV Environment in partnership with the Wood Recyclers’ Association (WRA) and was part of the WRA’s ongoing MP engagement programme aimed at improving understanding of the wood recycling industry in the Houses of Parliament.
