Welcome to the Biomess website.

The company Real Ventures proposes an industrial biomass plant on the Isle of Wight to be sited at the bottom of Stag Lane on the Medina Estuary. This proposal, which has not yet sought planning permission, will be based on the scoping report available at:
http://www.realventures.co.uk/downloads/Reality%20Scoping%20Report.pdf
The biomass plant intends to import wood pellets from distant sources, possibly the Baltic countries or Canada. This is simply unsustainable. It is not good use of precious resources and does not consider the ecological impact of the source sites.
On 26th October a number of concerned local residents called a meeting to discuss the proposal with other concerned residents. About 50 people turned out. The meeting was addressed by Ian Lander from the organisation Biofuelwatch. Ian gave a well balanced view of the latest technical information available and the level of discussion at the meeting showed a high level of understanding of the economic and environmental issues associated with the plant. It was therefore disappointing that Real Ventures chose to dismiss these concerns.
