Welcome to our EEW site Heringen.
Heringen is the heart of the potash mining industry in Germany. For more than 100 years, this “white gold” has been mined here. The corporation Kali+Salz (K+S) operates the Wintershall potash mine here, which requires a lot of energy in the form of steam and electricity. It was therefore obvious that waste from the region should be put to good use to meet these energy needs. This has been happening since 2009 in partnership with K+S at EEW’s energy from waste plant in the neigborhood of the potash mine in Heringen. Currently, 902,000 megawatt hours of process steam are generated here to supply the potash mine. To generate this energy, up to 345.000 tonnes of municipal and commercial waste as well as refuse derived fuels are recovered each year in a safe low-emission process.
