1. Presentation of Cemex ‘Climafuel’ Proposals
and their Implications to the Local Communities
15th November 2008

2. Outline the Proposed Development
Background
European Landfill directive – the UK must reduce the biodegradable landfill to 35% of 1995 std by 2020
Landfill Allowance Trading Scheme has taxed local authorities
Landfill sites are filling up( Ufton has 2 years left!)
The price of Fuel has risen steeply
Cement making uses a lot of energy
The Rugby works uses coal shipped by road & rail from abroad.
CEMEX has a clear financial benefit in putting forward a proposal to burn waste
The Long Itchington Site is good building land with a chimney installed
Parallel development application.

4. Outline the Proposed Development
Volumes Per Year
Inward bound
300,000 t refuse
100,000 t “Climafuel”
400,000 t Total
Outward bound
250,000 t Waste/Fuel to Rugby
71,000 t Recycling
37,000 t landfill
358,000 t Total
758,000 tonnes Grand Total
Vehicles movements Per Year
Inward bound
6,000 refuse trucks
37,000 bulk HGV’s
43,000 Total
Outward bound
35,800 Waste/Fuel to Rugby
35,800 Total
78,800 Vehicle Movements
The average UK person generates 592kg waste per year, the proposed development will process waste from 506,756 people! – (BBC/OU Survey)

6. Sustainability – How Green is the Proposal?
RDF relies on the presence of things that burn well
Paper
Plastics
If we recycle more there will be less paper and plastics in our waste.
If there is less paper and plastics the RDF won’t burn as well.
The lower the level of the quality of the fuel drops then other “Commercial” waste is needed
As recycling goes up the waste needs to come from further away
What's in your bin? If you took
out all recyclables Would it
burn?

7. Sustainability – How Green is the Proposal?
Carbon Emissions
The calorific Value of “Climafuel” is half that of coal, for a given output twice as much will be needed.
Typically CO2 is double conventional fossil fuels for incinerated waste.
The current process uses coal, a “dirty” high carbon footprint fuel. The proposal is to replace this with another high carbon fossil fuel
RDF does not come from sustainable (ie renewable) resources.
There are increases in emissions due to the additional handling and transport compared to the baseline. ”

8. Sustainability – How Green is the Proposal?
“The Waste hierarchy MUST be applied in local waste management Decisions”
1975 EU waste Framework Directive

9. Implications for the Village – landscape & Visual Impact
Size
210 M long,21M high,153 M Wide + + + =
How big will it be? – It would fit the Albert Hall in three times over and have room for the village church.

10. Implications for the Village - Traffic
Existing Traffic Movements
Traffic Survey indicates
5,486 Cars per day
18 Buses per day
586 “Lorries” per day

11. Implications for the Village - Traffic
Existing Traffic Movements
Traffic Survey indicates
586 “Lorries” per day
296 – 51% are small twin axle lorries
290 – 49% are “Heavy”

12. Implications for the Village - Traffic
Quote – CEMEX (UK) Ltd 10-25
“Based on the annual tonnages of materials imported, processed and exported to and from the site there will be HGV movements per hour at site access between 07:00 am and 19:00 each weekday and on Saturday mornings. During the evening, night, Saturday afternoons and Sundays the number would reduce to 6.58 per hour”
CEMEX
Monday – Friday = HGV’s per Day
Saturday = 201 HGVs per Day
Sunday = 158 HGVs per Day
Chris Hurt
Own figures = 281 HGV’s per Day
These figures do not include the additional clay lorries now going through the village

13. Implications for the Village - Traffic
Safety
Fatal accidents
HGV’s per 1 million km
Cars 0.9 per 1 million km
HGVs are around 8% of total traffic
20% of all pedestrian fatalities caused by HGV’s
76% of all HGV accidents are on A roads or Motorways.
Department for Transport
Road Accident & Road Freight statistics #1 2008

14. Implications for the Village - Traffic
Proposed Traffic Movements
Traffic Survey indicates
262 – 281 HGV’s per day increase = %
The CEMEX lorries are one of the heaviest types

15. Conclusion The proposal does not increase recycling.
The proposal does not produce a renewable & sustainable fuel.
The Proposal does not optimise carbon emissions.
The proposed plant will process enough waste for ½ million people each year.
It would be located within a rural village.
All transport to and from the plant to Rugby is by road through Long Itchington, Marton & Princethorpe.
The designated route uses rural and “b” roads.
HGV traffic will increase by more than 90%.

16. A GREEN SMOKESCREEN? Summary
The main reasons for CEMEX which drive the proposal are
Availability & suitability of land
Chimney is in place already
Financial advantage
There will be a clear negative environmental impact on the village and surrounding communities.
A GREEN SMOKESCREEN?
