The surreal, glittering blob here by Southampton Water is Marchwood ERF, a modern, state-of-the-art waste incineration (waste to energy) plant in Marchwood, near Southampton, England. It burns municipal waste and produces electricity for the National Grid. By contrast, its neighbour - Marchwood Power Station is a more conventional thermal power station that burns natural gas to generate electricity. Gas-fired power plants generate almost a quarter of world electricity and are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions.
