The Exeter and Plymouth plants incinerate residual waste (ie what's left over when everything recyclable or compostable has been removed) and generate electricity. There were plans to use the generated heat of the Exeter plant for a district heating system but they never came to fruition. The Plymouth plant does run a district heating system which heats the neighbouring Royal Navy barracks and dockyard, and I'm honestly not sure how I feel about the fact we can manage to implement the most sustainable solution, but apparently only in the service of waging war more efficiently
