The project will generate very significant carbon and particulate emissions both embedded in its initial construction and most especially generated from its daily operations. At its proposed capacity, CO2 emissions alone are likely to exceed 650,000 tonnes annually - incompatible with the Government and international requirements for GHG reduction (as being currently highlighted at COP27 ) in order to mitigate climte change The project is also reliant on HGV road transport for delivery of feedstock ( that is to be sourced from a wide catchment) and also for consequent hazardous waste removal - over an already-stressed road network . The project is also sited very close to local residential areas, hospitals and schools and businesses all of which will be adversely affected by any emissions and increases in traffic generated by the site.
