Energy from Waste

MVV Environment aims to replicate the success of MVV Umwelt in the energy from waste sector in the UK. The EfW plant at Mannheim, built in 1964 and having been modernized since then, produces around 200,000 MWh of energy and 400,000 MWh of process steam and has the capacity to process around 575,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste every year. Information on all of MVV’s EfW plants is available here. Our picture shows the EfW facility at Leuna.

Biomass

MVV Umwelt also specialises in energy generation from renewable biomass sources, especially waste wood. The Wicker Biomass facility for example generates 120,000 MWh of renewable energy from scrap wood that would otherwise go to landfill. Altogether, the three biomass facilities of MVV Umwelt generate about 440,000 MWh of electricity per year - enough power for 110,000 three-person households.
