UK renewable energy specialists VG Consulting and VG Energy have played a pivotal role in CCC Waste Management based in Kirby, Liverpool taking positive steps toward onsite energy management. Throughout the UK, businesses are addressing their energy supply and demand and this latest £2M investment from CCC Waste demonstrates a desire to future proof energy costs and create business and environmental sustainability.
VG Consulting, along with project planning consultant, LJ Architecture, have successfully gained consent for CCC Waste Management to install 4MW of biomass boiler systems with an integrated drying floor. With the biomass boilers being fuelled with Grade A/B waste wood, the business can look forward to a sustainable future.
Sean Munro, Director of CCC Group, commented: “Throughout our history, sustainability and the environment has always been a driving factor for us. We assist many organisations with environmentally aware processes in waste management.”
Sean Munro added that the system is part of the vision for the future of the business by informing.
“Of course this is a substantial investment and after due diligence we realised that this approach will add value to our operations,” he said.
“Our customer base and the wider community now and for the future. We are a business recognised for continued investment in new technology, machinery and staff and with our energy investment now, we are adding competitive advantage for us and our customers.”
VG Consulting Managing Director Dave Anderson added: “We admire the desire by CCC Waste to take a long term strategic view of their energy demand. The partnership with CCC Waste, LJ Architecture and VG Energy throughout the process led to the consent success.
“Technology matching energy demand is critical in these circumstances but it also requires a business to have the right approach to energy needs now and for the future. CCC Waste have shown with their investment and approach that this is a long term strategy and we congratulate them. We are delighted that the business has achieved consent, supported with our project environmental services and wish them every success for the future.”
The application was presented at planning committee on April 12 where it was unanimously approved. This consent success goes to prove the feasibility of the project and the continued opportunities for organisations to take control of energy.
Following consent, the next steps will be supply and installation of four Heizomart biomass boilers and a Wellvent drying floor, which will be performed by technology partners VG Energy.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
