Replacing the existing waste-to-energy plant in Lucerne, the new facility Renergia is able to treat 200,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste per year. By doubling the capacity, the new plant is able to cover the entire region of Central Switzerland. 

As a modern combined heat and power plant, the facility feeds into the newly established district heating grid and replaces the use of fossil fuels. By assuring the neighbouring paper mill a constant energy supply, Renergia replaces the previous oil-firing and prevents the usage of 40 million litres of oil, which equals a reduction of 90,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year. 

Highly efficient waste-to-energy

In order to reach a maximum energy recovery, the steam is first utilised in the turbine before being delivered to the neighbouring paper mill.  Further heat is distributed to supply the entire region of Rontal with district heating. 

The Renergia plant is a highly efficient waste-to-energy facility, which distinguishes itself by its aesthetic architecture, reliability and recyclable residues.
