Glasgow approves waste treatment centre for 40 per cent of Scotland

Summarised from Glasgow Times's report · Updated 5 Nov, 18:21 · Archive

Glasgow City Council has approved plans for a bioresource treatment centre at Daldowie serving 40 per cent of Scotland's population.

Glasgow City Council approved plans on 5 November for a bioresource treatment centre at Daldowie that will serve 40 per cent of Scotland's population. The council also gave approval for 45 new homes in Easterhouse and a water vole sanctuary. The council can now begin negotiations with Scottish Water for the sale of 11 hectares of land at the Daldowie site.

The centre will treat waste to a higher standard, producing licensed organic fertiliser and generating biogas to power its operations. Surplus biogas could be upgraded to biomethane for the national grid, helping reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The upgrades to existing treatment facilities will deliver environmental improvements, greater efficiency and lower operating costs. Glasgow City Council currently owns the Daldowie site, which includes a training centre and two semi-detached houses that will be vacated and relocated respectively before any sale.
