What’s happening? How does it happen?<br />
BIOSTOOM Ostend produces green electricity from<br />
residual waste originating from pre-treated commercial<br />
waste or household waste. Steam is produced<br />
with the heat that is released during the combustion<br />
process and it is producing electricity by<br />
driving the turbines. The bottom ash is completely<br />
valorized as a secondary raw material.<br />
Why is this an interesting circular initiative for<br />
circular harbours?<br />
The energy production throughout the steam turbine<br />
is powered by pre-treated commercial waste<br />
and household waste. It is relevant to highlight the<br />
circularity of this initiatives, since the bottom ashes<br />
coming from the combustion of the waste are<br />
reused as secondary raw material, and since the<br />
steam is re-transformed again in water and reused<br />
in the process in order to produce energy.
