Green Italy - Nuova ITL Waste treatment Plant in Taranto
Nuova ITL, and Green Italy, part of the Fasano Group, have built the waste treatment plant in Taranto, Italy, in the 80's.. The two companies are now involved in a renovation project that will increase productivity and reduce air pollution. This project will generate enough sustainable energy to power 125,000 homes, displacing energy that would otherwise come from a fossil fuel power station. The plant will prevent 600,000 tonnes of waste from potentially going to landfill – which releases greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, a climate change 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide) – or being exported abroad.
Using robust proven technology, the facility will accept residual waste for use as a fuel to generate electricity and heat.
We are also actively looking at how heat from the facility could also be supplied directly to other local users in the area, and how to store residual Co2. There is also the potential for electricity to be provided via private wire connections to local businesses.

Our aim is to recycle as much as we can, but extracting value – in the form of energy – from the waste we can’t recycle is an equally important part of our approach. The waste that cannot be recycled can be used as a fuel for our network of modern EfW’s or it may be compressed and baled to create Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF), that is also used to power EfW facilities
