Description of the Project
The new integrated solid waste treatment facility VERNEA, based on complementary and innovating treatments, aims at recovering energy from waste from the VALTOM area. The facility is consisting in a sorting unit, a biological stabilization unit, a biological recovery unit including anaerobic digestion, and an Energy from Waste plant. Three types of waste are processed and recycled according to their specific nature. Green waste and organic waste (fermentable fraction of household waste) are processed by the biological recycling plants to produce standardised compost and biogas transformed into electricity by the energy recovery unit. With regard to residual household waste, sorted beforehand on the site, a portion is recycled into electrical energy and the rest is stabilised to reduce the landfill volume by approximately 35%. I&C waste and shredded bulky waste are also processed in the Energy from Waste Unit.
