Project: WtE and steam network
Progress: Completed
The Specifics: The ‘ECLUSE’ project in Antwerp’s port is a pipe network that’s been constructed by Indaver and its partners. It allows the creation of steam from waste-to-energy which is then provided to five companies allowing them to switch off their steam boilers. This results in a saving of 100,000 tonnes of CO2 per annum.
