Name of the Project
Vinca waste-to-energy (WtE) project.

Location
The WtE facility and new landfill will be located in Vinca, alongside the existing landfill, about 15 km from Belgrade, Serbia.

Client
Beo Cista Energija, a joint venture between Suez Groupe, Itochu Corporation and Marguerite Fund II.

Project Description
The WtE facility will process residual municipal waste generated by 13 municipalities of the City of Belgrade, as well as construction and demolition waste (CDW) generated in its territory.

The project will include:

• an WtE facility processing up to 340 000 t/y of solid municipal waste, generating up to 29 MW of electricity to be supplied to the grid, and up to 56 MW of heat to the local district heating company;

• a 3.5 MW landfill gas-to-energy facility;

• a new sanitary landfill, designed to dispose up to 170 000 t/y of residual municipal waste;

• a leachate treatment plant for all effluents and leachate generated on site; and

• a CDW facility, comprising a crusher, sorting platform and landfill, to treat an estimated 200 000 t/y of waste. As part of the project, the company will also proceed with the closure of the existing Vinca dump site.

The project will also Include a 5 km, 110 kV, high-voltage transmission line to export the electricity and a 3.5 km medium-voltage transmission line to import the electricity.

The WtE facility will be connected and will deliver heat to the district heating system through an 8-km-long hot water pipeline that will be funded, permitted and constructed by the City of Belgrade.

Potential Job Creation
About 200 workers are expected to be employed during construction, with about 500 workers at peak. During operations, the workforce on site will be about 120.
