From waste
to resource

Energy from Waste returns waste materials back into the cycle effectively

Today, substitute fuels offer a genuine alternative to fossil fuels – for municipalities and industrial companies that rely on a stable, economical, and sustainable energy supply. Our plants convert complex material flows into reliable energy sources for electricity, steam, and heat – efficiently, robustly, and ready for future requirements.

Stronger together

Sustainable projects require more than just technology: they need mutual understanding, clear communication, and the will to find solutions. We view our customers as partners—because we support them from the initial consultation through to operation, reliably and responsibly.

As part of the JFE Engineering Group, we combine technological expertise with financial strength and an international perspective – for solutions that stand the test of time.

Improving carbon footprint

Our waste-to-energy plants tap into the energy potential of waste materials that can no longer be used as raw materials. With high efficiency, intelligent process control, and modern flue gas treatment, they deliver energy with a clear CO₂balance—and are ready for CO₂ capture, subsidy programs, and upcoming standards.

Ensure availability

High plant availability is not a promise, but the result of technical quality. Our systems are designed for continuous operation—for heterogeneous fuels, with low susceptibility to faults and an intelligent control system. They can be integrated into existing infrastructures, even during ongoing operation.

Combustion control – stable operation with lower emissions

With precise firepower control, we ensure stable temperatures, complete combustion, and low emissions—even with fluctuating fuel quality. This significantly reduces CO, NOₓ, and organic residues—while maintaining consistently high energy yields.

“Waste-to-energy technology that runs reliably today – and is ready for what matters tomorrow: CO2 reduction, heat utilization, and efficiency on a large scale. With outputs of up to 130 MWth.”

Modular technology – precisely tailored

With our modular system, we create systems that are precisely tailored to technical and economic requirements. All modules are tried and tested, low-maintenance, and scalable—for stable processes over decades.

Firing technology

Pusher-type grate or fluidized bed – depending on the fuel profile

Boiler technology

Horizontal or vertical, with modular concepts for heating surface cleaning and boiler protection

Flue gas treatment

wet, dry, or semi-dry – with DeNOx, flue gas condensation, and CCS preparation

EfW in transition – new requirements, new opportunities

Stricter emission limits, digitalization with AI, and carbon capture are changing the market. Those who invest, optimize, and modernize will remain competitive – and future-proof.

Flue gas condensation – the key to increased efficiency

Recovering heat bound in water vapor from exhaust gas is a key technology for modern EfW plants. Cooling the flue gas to below 40°C not only significantly increases the energy efficiency of the entire plant, but also creates favorable conditions for downstream CO₂ capture. Combined use improves economic efficiency and helps operators achieve current emission and efficiency targets.

Security of supply through regional substitute fuels

In times of tense energy markets, substitute fuels processed from local waste materials are gaining importance as a predictable energy source. They are available regionally, can be planned for the long term, and are independent of international supply chains. Modern EfW plants turn them into stable supply solutions—for industrial self-supply or municipal networks.

CCS readiness – thinking about tomorrow's technology today

Energy-from-waste plants with integrated CO₂ capture are no longer a dream of the future: pilot plants that have already been implemented demonstrate the potential. Retrofitting or direct integration requires suitable flue gas routing, optimized cooling, and compatible cleaning processes. Operators who think ahead today are ensuring long-term profitability—even under stricter regulatory conditions.
