The plant, incorporating W2E’s cBOS technology, will process a sorted municipal solid waste stream that is currently deposited in a landfill. In addition to addressing the current capacity constraints of the landfill, the facility will eliminate the materials that generate greenhouse gases in a landfill, and will be capable of producing approximately 2MW of renewable electrical energy.
W2E’s cBOS technology is employed in a 24MTPD plant in Husavik, Iceland that has been operating for nearly four years and in the 120MTPD facility in Dumfries, Scotland that was commissioned late last year.
The air emissions from the Husavik plant have surpassed the stringent EU regulations and the Dumfries plant has received a permit to operate from SEPA (Scottish Environmental Protection Agency).
