Project update: EVO Komořany – Waste-to-energy plant construction
We provide supportive engineering services and investor’s technical supervision for the Waste-to-Energy facility in Komořany near Most. At present, the majority of civil structures has been completed and technological installations have commenced. Key ongoing activities include the installation of a special grate-fired furnace, the boiler body, the engine room, and the flue-gas cleaning system.
The EVO facility located within United Energy’s Komořany heating plant will generate heat and electricity by incinerating non-recyclable waste to supply the Most area. By combusting waste that can no longer be reused, landfilling will be reduced and associated landfill-gas emissions will decrease. Energy-recoverable waste will be transported from towns and municipalities across the Ústí Region.
At the EVO facility, up to 150 thousand tonnes of waste that would otherwise end up in landfills will be processed annually. Combined operation of the heating plant and the EVO facility will enable a shift away from fossil fuels—at full capacity, the facility is expected to save roughly 88 thousand tonnes of brown coal per year.
Locating the EVO facility next to the Komořany heating plant allows easy connection to the existing district-heating pipelines serving the Most area and the export of electricity to the existing distribution grid. The project will therefore leverage the heating plant’s established technological infrastructure, including connections to water and natural-gas supplies.
Emissions of pollutants from the EVO facility will be significantly lower than from conventional heating plants. The combined operation of the heating plant and the EVO facility will therefore clearly reduce overall air emissions. The project represents another important step in decarbonization and efficient waste management.
Project benefits for the Most region:
• Annual utilization of up to 150 thousand tonnes of non-recyclable waste that would otherwise end up in landfills
• Savings of ~88 thousand tonnes of brown coal per year thanks to the combined operation of the heating plant and the EVO facility
• Shift away from fossil fuels and lower emissions compared to conventional heating plants
