The Rostec State Corporation's waste energy management plant helped to avoid the release of 500,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. During the nine months of operation, the company disposed of over 430 thousand tons of waste. If buried in landfills, each ton would lead to emissions of more than a thousand kilograms of CO2.
Calculations were performed according to the formula derived by the Institute of Global Climate and Ecology named after Academician Yu.A. Israel. According to the calculations of scientists, replacing the landfill of 1 ton of waste for processing into energy can prevent 1,160 kg of CO2 emissions.
Since the opening of the Rostec State Corporation's waste energy management plant, it has been possible to prevent 500,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. To absorb such a volume of greenhouse gases, it would take about a year and 210 thousand hectares of pine or 130 thousand hectares of birch forest.
Russia's first modern energy recycling plant, built by Rostec State Corporation, is located in the urban district of Voskresensk, Moscow Region. The plant was put into operation at the end of December 2024. Every day, the company receives more than 2 thousand tons of MSW from Moscow and the Moscow region. These are wastes that have been industrially sorted, and all useful fractions have already been selected from them. Previously, such waste ended up in landfills. Over 430 thousand tons of non-recyclable waste have been disposed of at the enterprise during its operation. At the same time, the plant produced 250 million kWh of "green" energy, which was supplied to consumers.
