Waste production is an inevitable consequence of population growth, rapid industrialization, and urbanization, and has been increasing worldwide. Managing waste and dealing with the resulting environmental concerns is always challenging and has become an increasingly pressing issue globally. The importance of waste-to-energy plants is becoming particularly evident, taking into account the limitations and environmental issues surrounding landfills and traditional incineration plants.

To address these challenges, Atlantic Energy and Infrastructure develops modern waste-to-energy facilities that generate eco-friendly energy while addressing waste-related issues.

In addition to generating power, AEI is considering providing a district heating system to produce heat for residential and commercial applications, utilizing the heat resulting from incineration. District heating systems are sustainable heating methods that help discount dependency on fossil fuel-powered heating systems, which contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.

Equipping waste-to-energy plants with district heating systems would also extend waste-to-energy's environmental and economic benefits.

Undertaking projects with strong and effective supply and offtake arrangements and using advanced methods and facilities are two core strategies that AEI considers to mitigate the risk profile and enhance the economic viability of waste-to-energy plants.

AEI is committed to fully complying with safety, health and environmental (HSE) standards to ensure the elimination of potential risks involved in waste-to-energy plant operations.
