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

Outline the Proposed Development
Volumes Per YearInward 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
The average UK person generates 592kg waste per year, the proposed development will process waste from 506,756 people! – (BBC/OU Survey)
Vehicles movements Per YearInward 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
Traffic Streams
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 tookout all recyclables Would itburn?
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.

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 15.24 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”
CEMEXMonday – Friday = 262 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
Implications for the Village - Traffic
Safety
Fatal accidents HGV’s 1.6 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.

Conclusion
1. The proposal does not increase recycling.2. The proposal does not produce a renewable &
sustainable fuel.3. The Proposal does not optimise carbon emissions.4. The proposed plant will process enough waste for ½
million people each year. 5. It would be located within a rural village.6. All transport to and from the plant to Rugby is by road
through Long Itchington, Marton & Princethorpe.7. The designated route uses rural and “b” roads.8. HGV traffic will increase by more than 90%.
Summary
The main reasons for CEMEX which drive the proposal are
1. Availability & suitability of land2. Chimney is in place already3. Financial advantage
There will be a clear negative environmental impact on the village and surrounding communities.
