EEW Energy from Waste Heringen.

The city of Heringen is known for its miner tradition and potash mining. Numerous headframes and the Monte Kali dominate the landscape. The coveted 'white gold' has been taken from the earth for over a century in the Werra mining district to recover fertilizer for agriculture.

The Kali+Salz (K+S) company operates the Wintershall potash mine in Heringen, recovering valuable potash from the raw salts extracted. A great deal of energy in the form of steam and electricity is needed for the production process. Thus the idea of a partnership between EEW and K+S came about.

EEW Energy from Waste has been operating a waste incinerator at the foot of Monte Kali on the grounds of the Wintershall plant since 2009. 297,600 tons of household and commercial wastes as well as alternate fuels are thermally exploited here annually. Energy so generated is completely used in the potash mine. Both electricity and process steam are generated in cogeneration for the production processes.

The operator EEW Energy from Waste Heringen GmbH publishes the emission data to continuously inform the citizens on the quality of the exhaust gas purification of its waste incineration line.
