In Serbia, Balkan Green Energy News reported that a 103 MW waste-to-energy facility at the Waste Management Center in Vinča, Serbia, has officially started operating on July 1.
The report stated that local firm Beo Čista Energija is rehabilitating the old landfill and building a new one in Vinča, near Serbia’s capital Belgrade.
Beo Čista Energija started waste incineration in February 2023 as a final phase of testing its waste-to-energy facility, the report added.
The special purpose vehicle company established by Itochu Corporation (Japan), Veolia Group (France) and Marguerite, a pan-European infrastructure investor (Luxembourg), said it commenced on July 1 the full scope of services in line with the public-private partnership contract with the City of Belgrade.
Beo Čista Energija stressed that waste treatment would substantially reduce waste landfilling. Coupled with the collection and treatment of all leachate from the landfills, and recovery of construction materials from construction and demolition waste, it will contribute to tangible improvement of the environmental conditions in Belgrade and the reduction of emissions in the amount of 210,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year, it added.
