A Geological Disposal Facility will put waste hundreds of metres deep underground and will only be built where there is both a ‘willing community and a suitable site.

Air pollution not only affects people’s health but also the ecosystems and food production and is linked to climate change.

WindEurope says this is still not enough to reach the EU’s goal for wind to provide half of Europe’s electricity by 2050.

The facility aims to supply around 3MW of electricity to National Grid and up to 12MW of renewable heat for local use.

The decision follows an in-depth investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority which highlighted serious competition concerns.

Steel manufacturing is a high carbon process and every tonne that is manufactured creates around 1.8 tonnes of carbon dioxide.

A new report suggests a mix of ‘direct’ and ‘indirect’ electrification could see greenhouse-gas emissions reduced by 60% before 2050.

The solar farm is being built in Germany and will have an installed capacity of 60MW.

An independent analysis by academics from Imperial College London says the power sector’s emissions fell from 161 million tonnes in 2010 to 54 million metric tonnes in 2019 as a result of clean electricity.
