MVV Umwelt GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MVV Energie AG, has more than 40 years of experience in operating decentralised disposal and energy generation plants. With the launch of operations at the second large incineration line at the Leuna location, our Group now manages incineration capacities of 1.5 million tonnes of waste and waste timber a year and is thus one of the market leaders in the generation of energy from waste.
The environmental energy segment includes the energy from waste plants in Mannheim, Offenbach and Leuna, which have combined incineration capacities of around 1.2 million tonnes a year. Equipped with effective flue gas purification facilities, these three plants currently dispose of waste from 62 municipalities and rural districts across five federal states with more than 4.7 million inhabitants. Not only that, MVV Umwelt GmbH also acts as a reliable disposal partner for around 150 industrial and commercial customers. Moreover, the company has incineration capacities of around 0.3 million tonnes a year at the waste timber power plants in Mannheim and Königs Wusterhausen near Berlin.
The volume of waste and waste timber used to generate process steam and electricity at our power plants is equivalent to around 540,000 tonnes of hard coal units (HCU) or 405,000 tonnes of heavy heating oil. This enables 345,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year to be avoided compared with electricity generated at conventional power plants.
With our regenerative and environmentally-friendly energy generation plants, we are making a sustainable contribution towards protecting the environment and the climate and are well-equipped to meet the requirements resulting from the climate protection efforts on the part of the Federal Government.
