A new waste-to-energy plant to replace the Tynes Bay facility and produce ten times more electricity has been proposed to members of Government.The plant proposed by the Bermuda Environmental Energy Sustainable Group (BEESG) would also produce agricultural-grade fresh water and process sewage which is currently being disposed of at sea.Addressing the Hamilton Rotary Club this afternoon, Oliver Binns of the BEESG said the site could be ready in less than four years and produce around 20MW of electricity, if approved by Government, ptentially powering about 20,000 homes.“When I learned about this technology, I realised this could be utilised by Bermuda, my home,” Mr Binns said.The plant would use Hebhof technology, currently in use in several European cities, that removes metals, batteries and glass from waste and sewage before drying it to produce ‘Stabilat,’ which is capable of producing far more energy than regular waste.The process also results in the production of fresh water, which is extracted from the waste, and the separated glass and metals can be recycled.Along with a boost in jobs as the plant is built, Mr Binns said the plant would need 104 staff members, with existing Tynes Bay staff being given offers for retraining for positions at the new plant.Mr Binns said he has already met with government officials in several ministries about the proposal, and will make a presentation before the Cabinet in the near future.“All we need is an memorandum of understanding from Government,” he said. “The we can go ahead and hear from people, get some investors and carry out some studies.”
