Circular economy initiatives

Enea Elektrownia Połaniec uses the combustion waste from co-firing coal and biomass and gypsum generated in the flue gas desulphurisation system as high-quality by-products which are recovered or neutralised, other than in a landfill. The company sorts other waste and passes it on to third parties for management. The company has a Programme for managing waste at the Power Plant in place. It is attached to the Environmental monitoring procedure and regulates all issues relating to waste from electricity generation and is updated if new types of waste emerge.

Enea Wytwarzanie takes action to maximise the sales of ash and gypsum which translates into the reduction of the generated waste transferred for disposal.

Enea Nowa Energia has implemented circular economy practices in its biogas plants – it uses the waste from a different industry to minimise the amount of waste it generates. The company uses agricultural waste to generate biogas and the digestate generated in the production passes on as fertiliser to be used in agriculture.

Enea Operator repairs and renovates transformers, meters and concrete poles. This way it extends the lifecycle of materials and reduces the amount of waste.

Enea Logistyka passes on used sources of light and fuses to an authorised recycling entity.
