LCG, April 10, 2026--The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced yesterday a rule proposing several revisions to the federal regulations governing the disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR) and the beneficial use of CCR. The EPA designed the rule to encourage resource recovery, allow for site-specific considerations in permitting, and provide regulatory relief while continuing to protect human health and the environment. The EPA will be accepting comments on the rule for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, and it will also hold an online public hearing on the rule.

Forth Energy Plans to Develop Biomass Plants in Scotland
LCG, August 31, 2009--Forth Energy announced on August 27 plans to develop power plants at four sites in Scotland that will use biomass as fuel. The combined electric generating capacity of the plants is 400 MW. The primary fuel would be softwoods from managed forests located both in the United Kingdom and overseas.
Forth Energy is a joint venture between Scottish and Southern Energy (a utility) and Edinburgh-based Forth Ports, which operates a ports in Scotland. Forth Energy invests in renewable energy that can be generated at its sites. Forth Energy stated it will request consent to construct the facilities in 2010.
The sites owned by Forth Ports that are targeted for the biomass projects are: Dundee, Leith, Rosyth and Grangemouth. The proposed plants may also provide heat to serve other energy needs.
The power generated by the biomass projects is expected to receive 1.5 renewables obligation certificates (ROC) per megawatt hour.
