Millerhill Recycling and Energy Recovery Centre
Millerhill Recycling and Energy Recovery Centre is a recycling and waste incineration facility at Millerhill in Midlothian, near Edinburgh in Scotland. It was built on part of the site of the Millerhill Marshalling Yard; construction began in October 2016 and the plant opened fully in September 2019. Commissioned by the City of Edinburgh Council and Midlothian Council, the plant cost £142 million and will divert 155,000 tons of waste a year from going to landfill. It burns treated waste to generate electricity which is fed into the National Grid.[1][2][3] The plant uses combustion and XeroSorp flue gas treatment from Hitachi Zosen Inova.[4] This is a dry adsorption system which uses sodium bicarbonate to clean the exhaust.[5]
