Waste-to-Energy plant Zistersdorf
The Waste-to-Energy plant Zistersdorf has been the first thermal treatment plant in the FCC Environment CEE Group. It was designed and constructed in the years 2006-2009 and started its operation in 2009. The plant is certified as R1/R13 thermal recovery plant according to EU-guidelines.
The facility
The waste to energy facility is situated in a clay pit of a former brick factory. Due to its good location on the eastern outskirts of Zistersdorf, with a direct connection to the railway line (up to 70% of waste delivered by train) and a national road, the property was ideally suited for industrial settlement.
The bunker has a storage capacity of approximately 7.300 m³, which equals the amount of waste of one week.
