The plant will be built at the Schkopau Chemical Park in the Saxony-Anhalt region in eastern Germany, and have a capacity of 30 000 ton ash from incinerated sewage sludge per year. It will receive ash from the Gelsenwasser incineration plant in Bitterfeld-Wolfen but will also be able to treat ashes from other incineration plants.
The first plant in Schkopau will serve as a full industrial scale demonstration plant, treating ashes from various suppliers joining our innovation partnership from all over Germany. After successful demonstration and once the roll-out in other regions has started, the Schkopau plant will focus on regional ash inputs.
In September 2024 the project received a green light from The State Administrative Office to build the plant - Green Light for a new phosphorus recovery Plant to address global resource needs
