Veolia EarthPower
Veolia EarthPower Technologies is Australia’s first food waste to energy facility.
Earthpower Technologies is Australia’s first food waste-to-energy facility. Centrally located in the Sydney suburb of Camellia, the facility processes food wastes to produce green electricity and a nutrient-rich-by-product fertilizer.
Earthpower accepts organic waste material from the industrial, commercial and residential sectors and converts it to green energy and nutrient-rich fertiliser. Earthpower uses anaerobic digestion to convert food waste into renewable energy.
Earthpower provides clients with affordable gate-fees, enabling a viable alternative to traditional landfilling and allows for potential savings on other waste disposal costs by improved source segregation and recovery of recyclable organic material. Earthpower also facilitates the diversion of waste from landfill and subsequent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions - the facility diverts 91% of waste received from landfill.
The methane generated from organics breakdown is used as fuel for the generation of electricity. This electricity is sold into the grid for distribution to domestic, commercial and industrial clients and at full capacity, Earthpower is capable of producing enough green electricity to power over 3,600 homes. Turning the final product from energy production into nutrient-rich fertilizer.
