Energy Recovery from Waste
Integrating the recovery and reuse of waste with the generation of energy.
Overview
Avertas Energy is a co-development between Macquarie Capital and DIF.
Avertas Energy acknowledges funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and The Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC).
The international consortium constructing and operating the waste-to-energy facility includes Spanish infrastructure and renewable energy company Acciona, with technology provider Keppel Seghers, and waste management and energy services company Veolia.
Avertas Energy will be the first facility of its kind in Australia, integrating the recovery and reuse of waste with the generation of energy to provide a practical solution to two community challenges: waste disposal and renewable energy supply.
Our waste-to-energy facility under construction in Kwinana, south of Perth, uses tried and tested technology and has the capacity to generate 38MW of electricity when it is complete. Waste-to-energy technology is a viable, clean and sustainable alternative to landfill disposal, which complements the 3Rs (reduce, reuse & recycle) and is integral to any modern integrated waste management system.
