Fortum has developed a service concept for utilising municipal and industrial waste effectively in generating heat and electricity. Fortum has extensive experience in waste-to-energy generation.
Fortum´s goal is to ensure that its operations are as environmentally friendly as possible. Separating waste at the source and a high degree of recycling are both important. Utilising waste as a resource for heat and electricity production is a good alternative for reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
The waste incineration directives in the EU countries are regulating the waste-to-energy production very tightly, and the emission limits set for waste-to-energy are much stricter than for other fuels.
