  • Buttington Quarry Energy Recovery Facility

    Broad Energy (Wales) Limited is preparing a planning application for a new Energy Recovery

    Facility (ERF) at Buttington Quarry. We would like to hear your views about our proposal.(Please see back page)

    Our plans

    The Buttington Quarry ERF will use thermal

    treatment technology to generate renewable and

    low carbon energy in the form of electricity and

    heat. Electricity can be exported to the national

    grid to help provide greater security over supplies,

    whilst heat can be supplied to local businesses or

    new developments (including homes).

    This development will use non-recyclable (residual) waste

    as a fuel, helping to reduce the amount of waste sent to

    landfill and so reduce carbon emissions.

    The ERF would process around 100,000 tonnes of

    residual waste fuel per year. Much of the waste would

    be sourced from Powys and the surrounding areas as

    there are no other similar locally-based energy recovery

    facilities.

    The ERF will be located within the deepest part of the

    quarry void, screened from outside views, making it

    a highly suitable location.

    The consenting process

    A planning application supported by an Environmental Impact

    Assessment will be submitted to Powys County Council early

    2017. It will address the effects of the proposed development

    upon the environment including landscape, traffic and

    highways, air quality, noise, ecology, water environment,

    archaeology, cultural heritage, and social and economic

    effects. Feedback from this consultation process will be

    used to help inform the final design and assessments. Once

    the planning application is submitted there will be a period

    for consideration and consultation by the local planning

    authority. A number of statutory organisations will be asked

    for their views, such as Natural Resources Wales (NRW), and

    interested local stakeholders. The planning application will be

    determined by Powys County Council.

    An application for an environmental permit will be submitted to

    Natural Resources Wales. The Environmental Permitting process

    is separate from planning and will govern the operation of the ERF.

  • Why develop the facility at Buttington Quarry?

    Buttington Quarry is an 18-hectare (44 acres) site that is

    well screened from the adjacent A458 road and nearby

    communities by trees, landscaping and natural topography.

    The site has an industrial heritage that dates back to the

    late 1800s as a working quarry with associated brickworks.

    Bricks were manufactured at the site until the late 1980’s

    and extraction continues today to supply material for use

    in construction and agriculture.

    Part of Buttington Quarry is designated as employment land

    in the Powys County Council Draft Local Development Plan.

    Due to its location on both the main road network and on the

    electricity network, Buttington Quarry is ideally suited for general

    industrial use and energy generation. An established local

    logistics firm now operates from part of the former brickworks.

    The ERF will be suitably located within the quarry void, which

    provides vital screening. The nearest residential settlement

    is the village of Trewern which lies approximately 800m

    (half a mile) north east of the site.

    About Broad Energy (Wales) Limited

    Broad Energy (Wales) Limited is a special purpose

    company that has been established by Broad

    Group (UK) Limited to develop the proposed energy

    recovery facility. This independently owned and

    operated facility will form a key anchor delivering

    long term cost effective and efficient energy and

    heat services as part of the wider plans by the

    owners of Buttington Quarry to create a sustainable

    eco-business park.

    Broad Energy (Wales) Limited is keen to ensure that future

    development at the site contributes to the local economy

    and offers new job opportunities to the local community.

    Plans for the ERF include a visitor centre, which would

    offer opportunities for local community groups and

    students at local schools and colleges to learn more about

    modern energy and waste management practices. The

    visitor centre will show students how waste and resource

    management practices can contribute positively to local

    communities and the wider environment.

    • The proposed ERF will process c.100,000 tonnes per year of residual (non-recyclable) waste sourced from Powys and the surrounding areas.

    • Waste is processed in an enclosed environment with air extraction, treatment and sound proofing to reduce noise and emissions to acceptable limits.

    Waste Delivery and Storage Combustion and Boiler

  • • Waste is processed in an enclosed environment with air extraction, treatment and sound proofing to reduce noise and emissions to acceptable limits.

    • The ERF will produce steam that will be used to generate around 9 MW of electricity, enough to power around 8,000 homes, contributing to the UK energy target of at least 15% from renewables.

    Benefits

    • The ERF will use waste as a fuel to generate low carbon

    heat and power (electricity) helping to reduce greenhouse

    gas emissions by offsetting other CO2 generating sources.

    • It will divert non-recyclable (residual) waste produced

    locally away from landfill sites, reducing methane,

    a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than CO2.

    • Treatment of non-recyclable (residual) municipal waste

    at the ERF could enable local authorities to access Welsh

    Government subsidies for renewable energy and reduce

    carbon emissions, releasing funds that would today be used

    for waste services be made available to help towards other

    valuable services provided by local councils.

    • The development would provide some 100-150 jobs

    during the two-year construction period, and 30 permanent

    jobs once the ERF is operational, including highly skilled

    engineering, technical, logistics and managerial roles as

    well as operational and administrative roles. During operation

    there will be opportunities for (indirect) employment (plant

    maintenance, haulage, cleaning, landscape maintenance etc).

    Broad Energy (Wales) Limited will positively encourage the

    employment of local people.

    • Local businesses are likely to enjoy additional custom

    and economic benefits during both the construction

    and operational periods.

    • The ERF will help towards achieving the Welsh government

    objectives to become a zero waste one planet nation

    by 2050.1

    • The ERF will generate around 9MW of power to the national

    grid and/or local businesses, enough to power around

    8,000 homes.

    • The ERF would act as an anchor development for an eco-

    business park, as part of the wider development proposed

    at the site by the quarry owners. Renewable heat in the form

    of hot water could be supplied to tenants at the future eco-

    business park and the nearby Offa’s Dyke Business Park.

    • The development will enable continued use of a local

    industrial asset. There are also plans to include the creation

    of a biodiversity area around the existing geological site of

    special scientific interest (SSSI), which is located within the

    quarry. The biodiversity area would provide a new habitat

    for local wildlife, enhance local landscaping, the environment,

    and facilitate educational visits from students at local schools

    and colleges.

  • Manteision

    • Bydd yr ERF yn defnyddio gwastraff fel tanwydd i gynhyrchu gwres carbon isel a phŵer (trydan) gan helpu i ostwng

    allyriadau nwyon tŷ gwydr drwy wrthbwyso ffynonellau eraill

    sy'n cynhyrchu CO2. Bydd yn dargyfeirio gwastraff na ellir ei

    ailgylchu (gweddilliol) sy’n cael ei gynhyrchu’n lleol oddi wrth

    safleoedd tirlenwi sy’n cynhyrchu methan, nwy tŷ gwydr sydd

    20 gwaith yn gryfach na CO2.

    • Gallai defnyddio’r ERF i drin gwastraff trefol na ellir ei ailgylchu (gweddillol) alluogi awdurdodau lleol i gyrchu cymorthdaliadau

    Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer ynni adnewyddadwy a lleihau

    allyriadau carbon, gan ryddhau arian a fyddai heddiw’n cael ei

    ddefnyddio ar gyfer gwasanaethau gwastraff fel ei fod ar gael

    i helpu ar gyfer gwasanaethau gwerthfawr eraill sy’n cael eu

    darparu gan gynghorau lleol.

    • Byddai’r datblygiad yn darparu 100-150 o swyddi yn ystod y cyfnod adeiladu dwy flynedd, a 30 o swyddi parhaol

    unwaith y bydd yr ERF yn gweithio, gan gynnwys swyddi

    sgiliau uchel mewn peirianneg, technoleg, logisteg a rheoli

    yn ogystal â swyddi gweithredol a gweinyddol. Pan fydd y

    safle'n gweithredu bydd cyfleoedd (anuniongyrchol) ar gyfer

    cyflogaeth (cynnal a chadw safle, cludo, glanhau, cynnal a

    chadw tirlun ac yn y blaen). Bydd Broad Energy (Wales) Limited

    yn gwneud eu gorau i annog cyflogi pobl leol.

    • Mae busnesau lleol yn debygol o fwynhau masnach ychwanegol a manteision economaidd yn ystod y cyfnod

    adeiladu a phan fydd y cyfleuster yn gweithio.

    • Bydd yr ERF yn helpu i gyrraedd amcanion Llywodraeth Cymru o’n gwneud yn genedl un blaned ddiwastraff

    erbyn 2050.1

    • Bydd yr ERF yn cynhyrchu tua 9MW o bŵer i’r grid cenedlaethol a/neu busnesau lleol, digon i bweru tua

    8,000 o gartrefi.

    • Bydd yr ERF yn gweithredu fel datblygiad angor ar gyfer parc eco-fusnes, fel rhan o’r datblygu ehangach

    arfaethedig ar y safle gan berchnogion y chwarel. Gallai

    gwres adnewyddadwy ar ffurf dŵr poeth gael ei gyflenwi i

    denantiaid ym mharc eco-fusnes y dyfodol a Pharc Busnes

    Clawdd Offa gerllaw.

    • Bydd y datblygiad yn sicrhau fod ased diwydiannol lleol yn parhau i gael ei ddefnyddio. Mae yna gynlluniau hefyd

    i gynnwys creu ardal bioamrywiaeth o gwmpas y safle

    daearegol o ddiddordeb gwyddonol arbennig (SSSI) sydd

    wedi ei leoli o fewn y chwarel. Byddai’r ardal bioamrywiaeth

    yn darparu cynefin newydd ar gyfer bywyd gwyllt lleol,

    gwella tirlunio lleol a’r amgylchedd, a hwyluso ymweliadau

    addysgiadol gan fyfyrwyr mewn ysgolion a cholegau lleol

  • Pam datblygu’r cyfleuster yn Chwarel Buttington?

    Mae Chwarel Buttington yn safle 18-hectar (44 erw) sydd

    wedi ei sgrinio’n dda gan goed, tirlunio a daearyddiaeth

    naturiol rhag y ffordd A458 a chymunedau cyfagos. Mae

    gan y safle dreftadaeth ddiwydiannol sy’n dyddio yn ôl

    i’r 1800au hwyr fel chwarel yn gweithio a gwaith briciau

    cysylltiedig. Cafodd briciau eu cynhyrchu ar y safle hyd at

    ddiwedd y 1980au ac mae echdynnu yn parhau hyd heddiw

    i gyflenwi deunydd ar gyfer adeiladu ac amaethyddiaeth.

    Mae rhan o Chwarel Buttington eisoes wedi ei glustnodi fel tir

    cyflogaeth yng Nghynllun Datblygu Lleol Drafft Cyngor Sir Powys.

    Oherwydd ei lleoliad amlwg ar y prif rwydwaith ffyrdd ac ar y

    rhwydwaith trydan, mae Chwarel Buttington mewn safle delfrydol

    ar gyfer defnydd diwydiannol cyffredinol a chynhyrchu trydan.

    Mae cwmni logisteg lleol bellach yn gweithredu o ran o’r hen

    waith briciau.

    Bydd yr ERF wedi ei leoli o fewn gwagle’r chwarel, sy’n darparu

    sgrinio hanfodol . Yr anheddiad preswyl agosaf yw pentref Trewern

    sydd tua 800m (hanner milltir) i’r gogledd ddwyrain o’r safle.

    Ynglŷn â Broad Energy (Wales) Limited

    Mae Broad Energy (Wales) Limited yn gwmni a

    pwrpas arbennig a sefydlwyd gan Broad Group

    (UK) Cyfyngedig i ddatblygu’r cyfleuster adfer

    ynni arfaethedig. Bydd y cyfleuster, annibynnol ei

    berchnogaeth a’i weithredu, yn ffurfio angor allweddol

    ar gyfer cyflenwi gwasanaethau ynni a gwres effeithiol

    ac effeithlon hirdymor fel rhan o gynlluniau ehangach

    perchnogion Chwarel Buttington i greu parc eco-

    fusnes cynaliadwy.

    Mae Broad Energy (Wales) Limited yn awyddus i sicrhau fod

    datblygu’r safle yn y dyfodol yn cyfrannu at yr economi leol

    ac yn cynnig cyfleoedd gwaith i’r gymuned leol.

    Mae cynlluniau ar gyfer yr ERF yn cynnwys canolfan

    ymwelwyr, a fyddai’n cynnig cyfleoedd i grwpiau cymunedol

    lleol a myfyrwyr mewn ysgolion a cholegau lleol i ddysgu

    mwy am ynni modern a dulliau rheoli gwastraff. Bydd y

    ganolfan ymwelwyr yn dangos i fyfyrwyr sut y gall dulliau

    rheoli gwastraff ac adnoddau gyfrannu’n gadarnhaol i

    gymunedau lleol a’r amgylchedd ehangach.

  • Cyfleuster Adfer Ynni Chwarel Buttington

    Mae Broad Energy (Wales) Limited yn paratoi cais cynllunio ar gyfer Cyfleuster Adfer Ynni (ERF)

    newydd yn Chwarel Buttington. Byddem yn hoffi clywed eich barn am ein cynigion.(Edrychwch ar y dudalen ôl)

    Ein cynlluniau

    Bydd Cyfleuster Adfer Ynni (ERF) Chwarel Buttington

    yn defnyddio technoleg triniaeth thermol i gynhyrchu

    ynni adnewyddadwy a carbon isel ar ffurf trydan a

    gwres. Gellir allforio trydan i'r grid cenedlaethol i

    helpu rhoi mwy o sicrwydd am gyflenwadau, a gellir

    cyflenwi gwres i fusnesau lleol neu ddatblygiadau

    Newydd (yn cynnwys cartrefi)

    Bydd y datblygiad hwn yn defnyddio gwastraff na ellir ei

    ailgylchu (gweddilliol) fel tanwydd, gan helpu i leihau swm

    y gwastraff sy’n cael ei anfon i dirlenwi ac felly

    leihau allyriadau carbon.

    Byddai’r ERF yn prosesu tua 100,000 tunnell o wastraff

    gweddilliol bob blwyddyn. Byddai llawer o’r gwastraff

    yn deillio o Bowys a’r ardaloedd cyfagos gan nad oes

    cyfleusterau adfer ynni cyffelyb eraill i’w cael yn lleol.

    Bydd yr ERF yn cael ei leoli yn rhan ddyfnaf y chwarel, wedi

    ei sgrinio rhag cael ei weld o’r tu allan, sy’n ei wneud yn

    lleoliad hynod addas.

    Y Broses gydsynio

    Bydd cais cynllunio, gyda chefnogaeth Asesiad Effaith

    Amgylcheddol, yn cael ei gyflwyno i Gyngor Sir Powys yn

    gynnar yn 2017. Bydd yn delio ag effeithiau'r datblygiad

    arfaethedig ar yr amgylchedd gan gynnwys tirwedd,

    trafnidiaeth a phriffyrdd, ansawdd yr awyr, sŵn, ecoleg,

    amgylchedd dŵr, archaeoleg, treftadaeth ddiwylliannol, ac

    effeithiau cymdeithasol ac economaidd. Bydd adborth o’r

    broses ymgynghori hon yn cyfrannu at y dylunio a’r asesiadau

    terfynol. Unwaith y bydd y cais cynllunio wedi ei gyflwyno bydd

    yr awdurdod cynllunio lleol yn treulio cyfnod yn ystyried ac

    ymgynghori yn ei gylch. Gofynnir i nifer o sefydliadau statudol

    am eu barn, fel Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru, a rhanddeiliaid lleol

    sydd â diddordeb. Bydd y cais cynllunio yn cael ei benderfynu

    gan Gyngor Sir Powys.

    Bydd cais am ganiatáu amgylcheddol yn cael ei gyflwyno i Gyfoeth

    Naturiol Cymru. Mae’r broses Caniatad Amgylcheddol yn un ar wahân

    i’r cais cynllunio a bydd yn rheoli gweithredu’r ERF.
