Energy recovery of municipal waste
The Waste-to-Energy Agency (EGE) produces environmentally friendly energy from waste. Residual waste becomes light and heat at the two energy recovery plants Haraldrud and Klemetsrud in Oslo.
Receives and recycles
EGE receives and recycles waste from households in Oslo, neighboring municipalities and from private companies. The agency has a close collaboration with the Agency for waste management, that physically collects and transports the waste from Oslos households.
Sorting plant
At EGEs optical sorting plant, green bags with food waste and blue bags with plastic packaging are separated from the residual waste and sent to material recovery.
Clients
EGEs clients include waste contractors and other municipalities. Waste represents a resource, and EGE receives waste in competition with other energy recovery plants in Norway and Sweden.
Capacity
The two incineration plants have the capacity to receive a total of 410,000 tons of waste annually. From this, around 840 GWh of energy is recovered as district heating and about 160 GWh as electricity. This corresponds to the energy use of 84,000 households.
