Hjørring City Council discussed the case of Stiesdal SkyClean's pyrolysis plant at the village of Rakkeby in the municipality on Wednesday, but no decision was made to suspend operations. Instead, the case has now been forwarded to the Technical and Environmental Committee, which will discuss it on March 4. This is reported by TV2 Nord.
- We all agree that there is a problem that we need to look into, says Hjørring Municipality's mayor Søren Smalbro (V).
The municipality has already issued a notice of injunction to Stiesdal SkyClean demanding an investigation into where the odor nuisance is coming from. Committee chairman Søren Homann (K) emphasizes that it is the company's responsibility to eliminate the nuisance.
- So it is the company's task to eliminate this nuisance, not the municipality's. We can only help regulate what kind of area they can work in, says Søren Homann.
The company has announced that they are ready with a measurement program that will examine emissions and odors from the plant. Stiesdal SkyClean acknowledges odor problems, but does not consider them to be harmful to health.
- We know that we have some unwanted odors from our drying process. We do not consider that as such is dangerous, but it can be a nuisance both for ourselves and of course for neighbors, says director Peder Nickelsen.
Stiesdal Skyclean states in a written comment to DOI.dk that the odors originate from the associated drying plant, where residual fibers from the neighboring biogas plant are dried before being sent to the pyrolysis. The company also writes that there will soon be a solution to the problem.
