- Treating the organic fraction of municipal waste from separate collection (FORSU);
- Producing biofertilizers and/or high-quality compost from FORSU;
- Producing biomethane from both FORSU and the undersized material derived from the existing MBT plant.
Key numbers
730
ha
of land to be fertilized with the compost produced
150.000
trees that can be planted and fertilized with the compost produced
3.800
families (with an average of 4 members) that can use the biomethane produced
21.500
Mwh
of equivalent electrical energy producible (enough to power approximately 7,150 families)
We are proud of this important achievement because it will bring real benefits to our city Palermo
