industrial waste and biofuel (wood chips)
• The latest technologies used in the plant ensure the best
method of waste incineration
• All heat produced is transmitted to the Klaipėda city district
heating system, while electricity is supplied to common

Benefits for Klaipėda region
• Reduces dependence on imported fuels (natural gas) when
supplying heat to Klaipeda city, whereas 40% of heat from total
needed for the city will be produced in this CHP plant.
• More stable heat tariff
• Reduced expenses for construction of new waste dumps and
management of the existing ones since the amount of waste
reduces by 4 to 5 times as a result of waste burning process
• Reduced impact on the formation of the greenhouse gas effect
since the gas originating from waste dumps (shale gas) has a
much greater impact on the increase of the greenhouse effect
than CO2 gas
