We turn waste into energy
We take care of the disposal, processing and provision of low-CO2 energy for our customers, recycle materials, ensure logistics and develop innovative technologies. We also offer planning and consulting services. We always work transparently and are based on all the necessary relevant permits and certifications.
We focus on:
- Highest quality: quality-assured energy generation, experienced specialists and safe recycling plants.
- Long-term customer relationships: We value customer proximity as well as reliable and binding partnerships.
- Expertise and development: We are always working to make our processes more efficient and contribute to climate protection with state-of-the-art technology.
- The company: We combine long-standing tradition with innovative approaches for a more sustainable future
We ensure that all waste is recycled economically and ecologically. To do this, we sort the waste carefully before we process it further.
We replace considerable quantities of fossil fuels with alternatives that we obtain from waste. Thanks to our use of waste as a substitute fuel, we have already helped numerous industrial customers to significantly improve their carbon footprint by phasing out the use of coal. This also saves a lot of gasNatural gas, which often has to be transported thousands of kilometers and is increasingly problematic geopolitically, becomes superfluous thanks to our energy from waste.
Thermal utilization
Thermal utilization of biomass to generate electricity is a modern, efficient and environmentally friendly technology. High-performance cleaning systems filter dust particles and flue gases so that emission values remain far below the permissible limits. We operate a wood-fired power plant in Aarberg that utilizes biomass in the form of waste wood.
Key figures:
- Around 1,000,000 tons of waste wood are produced in Switzerland every year.
- Of this, 450,000 tons are exported.
- Terra Nova recycles around 100,000 tons of waste wood.
