Among the main solutions for the protection of the environment within a context of sustainability and durability, we need to eliminate the waste generated by human activity and to reduce the use of fossil fuels in order to contribute to a reduction of the greenhouse effect. One solution is the energy recovery of waste and biomass.
What we can do:
At Abengoa, we specialize in designing and integrating smart solutions, building and operating innovative facilities for the energy recovery of all types of waste and biomass and obtaining renewable and sustainable energy in the form of heat, cold, electricity or fuel.
How we do it:
Depending on the type of waste and/or biomass (urban waste, wood, agriculture, livestock, agrifood, industrial waste, etc.), we design innovative solutions to convert the raw material and use it as:
