CEZO
ENERGY FROM WASTE: Waste-to-Energy plant with cutting-edge technology planned to be built in Slovnaft refinery
Slovnaft plans to build a new Waste-to-Energy plant ("CEZO") on its premises to replace the current sludge incinerator operating since the 1970s. The CEZO will be able to generate heat and electricity, using municipal, industrial and heavily processed waste as fuel instead of natural gas or oil residue.
