National Gypsum halts plans for tyre-burning power plant

13 January 2014

US: National Gypsum has halted its plans for a West Milton power generation plant fuelled by burning tyres due to the plummeting price of natural gas and protests from local residents.

National Gypsum planned to buy steam and electricity produced from the plant, but with the price of natural gas considerably lower, using the tyre-burning power generator no longer offered cost savings. The company stated that it still firmly believes the En-Tire project is environmentally sound and would have provided much-needed jobs, but that it must also consider the objections of the White Deer community, with which it has a good working relationship.

"I'm glad to hear that," White Deer township supervisor Don Wilver said. "That speaks well of them as a partner in the community."

The Tyre Burner Team, a group that vocally and persistently protested the plant, plans to share its steps with other organisations and remains ready to re-commit to stopping the project should any such plans emerge again.

En-Tire Logistics LLC of Bedford, Texas, which would have operated the facility, plans to pursue a tyre-derived fuel plant elsewhere in Pennsylvania. The company is disappointed over the demise of the White Deer Energy Project, said CEO Willess Vincent. "We will be looking for another site for the facility and will absolutely look in Pennsylvania," he said, but would not disclose where. Vincent signed the written request sent to the state Department of Environmental Protection to shelve the air-quality permit approval the agency had granted the project in September 2013.
