Waste and Organics:
Two Sources of Clean Fuels
We believe in the close correlation and synergy between the Environment and Renewable Energy.
Through the subsidiaries operating in the environmental sector, Waste Italia extended the concept of waste recovery. Waste to Energy is the process of generating energy from the primary treatment of waste in order to produce biogas, a “green fuel” that can be used to produce electricity and heat.
Advantages
• Primary energy resources saved;
• To avoid the production of greenhouse gas generated by power plants that use fossil fuels;
• To reduce the number of land lls.
In the case of unselected waste in land lls, the natural degradation process produces gases that are captured, cleaned and burned in dedicated engines in order to produce energy that is locally used to satisfy land ll needs.
Food and garden waste (from agro-food industry, farm residual, animal manure) are collected, selected and treated in anaerobic digesters. The anaerobic digestion is the breakdown of organic materials into methane and carbon dioxide gas; actually, Biogas is the name given to the mixture of gas formed during the anaerobic digestion of organic wastes. Anaerobic digestion allows the production of a clean energy and has a positive impact on local agriculture and recycling waste.
Sostenya Group has a strong record of accomplishment in biogas both from land lls plants and from anaerobic digestion plants in Europe and worldwide through projects and collaborations with dozens of plants designed, constructed and managed.
