A company hoping to build a waste-to-energy incinerator for the port lands in Hamilton is getting a lot of push back.

Port Fuels and Material Services wants to build a thermal conversion plant for Pier 15 on Sherman Avenue North to turn things like tires and sewage sludge into synthetic gas.

Officials says regardless of how cutting-edge the technology is, there will be emissions. The company is only now undergoing an environmental screening, required by provincial waste regulations.

Port fuels and materials is holding a public meeting today to talk about their plans.
