Waste collection
Bio-waste is transported by special vehicles directly to the Horní Suchá Energy Centre, where it is subsequently processed.
How is the waste processed?
First, the waste goes through a sorting process where packaging and unwanted components are separated from the bio-waste. The waste then enters the anaerobic digestion process, i.e. processing without air. The processing produces useful products such as biomethane and organic fertiliser.
Output products
At the end of the whole process by which we process waste at the Horní Suchá Energy Centre, there are two output products.
Biomethane
This is supplied to the grid and sold on the market as a second generation fuel.
Certified organic fertilizer
This fertilizer consists of natural, fermented raw materials and microorganisms that are essential for the soil and provide it with important nutrients. In addition, it is organic and contains no harmful substances.
