Waste to Energy

We are Europe's leading designer of waste-to-energy plants. Our unique solutions for our customers are based on the utilisation of waste and sludge for energy, and many of the solid-fuel power plants we design have also been built with multi-fuel boilers, where it is possible to use recycled fuels. We have been actively developing the recovery and utilisation of landfill gas and biogas since the 1980s and managing different plant solutions including combustion and flue gas cleaning technologies. Our recent activities are also focused on circular economy projects where plastic recycling is a part of the concept.
