Thermal waste treatment and energy generation plant (TREA) Breisgau.

Overview

Our plant.

Near the municipality of Eschbach in Breisgau, EEW Energy from Waste Saarbrücken GmbH has been operating the Thermal Residual Waste Treatment and Power Plant (Thermische Restabfallbehandlungs- und Energieerzeugungsanlage – TREA) Breisgau on behalf of the Gesellschaft Abfallwirtschaft Breisgau mbH (GAB) since 2005. In the GAB, the administrative districts of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, Emmendingen and Ortenaukreis and the city of Freiburg have joined forces to collectively organise the disposal of their residual waste in an environmentally friendly manner.

The GAB provides for the transport of the wastes, the major part of which is delivered by train. This constitutes a special protection of local residents as the TREA is situated in the direct vicinity of the Black Forest Nature Park.

The TREA Breisgau generates approx. 113,000 megawatt hours of electricity through thermal waste utilisation. In addition, neighbouring factories are supplied with district heating.
