Serbian Vinca Solid Waste Management Center will start producing heat and electricity at full capacity in May 2024, upon the completion of the test operations. According to the president of the Temporary Organ of the City of Belgrade, Aleksandar Sapic, this facility will enable around 5% of electrical and around 10% of heating energy from the waste disposed there.
– I know what the importance of this facility is, due to the new ecological standard which we are all trying to impose in Belgrade in many aspects. This is a facility for the thermal processing of municipal waste, which will be used for the central heating of Belgrade. This way, pollution in the capital of Serbia will be reduced, and waste will replace fossil fuels to a considerable extent – Sapic said.
Vladimir Milovanovic, the director of the company Beo Cista Energija, specified that the treatment for the disposal of waste from fifteen municipalities of the city of Belgrade would be done that way and said that the certification of that project had proven that carbon dioxide emissions would be reduced by 210,000 tons equivalent annually.
