Verta launches waste-to-energy plant in UK

In the UK, Four Rivers BioEnergy announced that its electricity generation subsidiary, Verta Energy Generation, had successfully installed and operated its first electricity generator, utilizing the Cummins 1,250 KVA (1MW) diesel generator that it purchased last week and Verta’s customized generator biofuel as feedstock.

Verta Group will own and operate the Waste-to-Energy plant that Four Rivers has been developing out of the 41 acre industrial site in the UK that it acquired in 2009. In addition Verta has entered into a contract to purchase ML Oils Limited, a long established waste oil collection and aggregation business.  Ultimately, Verta plans a 60,000 metric tonnes per year facility on site.
