Our power plant is growing – grow with us!
With the expansion of our refuse-derived fuel power plant, we are taking another significant step towards sustainability and assuming ecological responsibility for a future-proof production at our Spremberg site.
By using state-of-the-art technology and complying with strict environmental standards, the energy contained in waste is efficiently converted into electricity and steam in our RDF power plant. The electrical energy generated via the steam turbine is fed into the public power grid. In addition, the process steam produced covers the entire demand of the neighboring paper mill, ensuring its continuous production.
If you are looking for a meaningful job in a future-proof industry, you are in the right place!
