Doosan Heavy Industries Wins 220 Billion KRW Contract for Waste-to-Energy Plant

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction announced on the 12th that its German subsidiary Doosan Lentjes, in a consortium, has won a contract for the construction of a Waste to Energy (WtE) plant in Poland. The client is the Polish energy company Dobra Energia, and the contract amount is approximately 220 billion KRW.

The newly contracted plant will convert 300 tons of municipal waste per day into energy, supplying 12MW (megawatts) of electricity and heat to the local community. It will be constructed in the Olsztyn area, about 200 km north of Warsaw, the capital of Poland.

WtE plants are facilities that convert various combustible waste generated from industrial sites or households into energy through processes such as gasification, incineration, and pyrolysis. These plants not only supply electricity and heat but also reduce environmental pollution by minimizing landfill waste, thus gaining attention recently.

In particular, the European WtE market is seeing increased demand for replacing aging plants, and new orders are rising due to landfill restriction policies.

The Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction-Doosan Lentjes consortium will carry out the project using the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) method, handling design, equipment procurement, and construction in an integrated manner, with completion scheduled by 2023.

Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction will manage the overall project, while Doosan Lentjes will perform mechanical and electrical construction, including supplying incineration boilers and environmental equipment. Additionally, Doosan Skoda Power, Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction’s Czech subsidiary, will participate in the project by supplying a 12MW-class small industrial steam turbine.

Park Hongwook, Head of Power Service BG at Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction, said, "Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction has global EPC project capabilities through cooperation with its European subsidiaries Doosan Lentjes and Skoda Power, which enabled us to succeed in winning orders despite the difficulties in overseas business caused by COVID-19. We will actively target the European WtE market, expected to reach 1.6 gigawatts (GW) by 2024."

Doosan Lentjes is a German company acquired by Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction in 2011 to secure eco-friendly power generation core technologies such as circulating fluidized bed boilers (CFB), waste incineration boilers (WtE), and desulfurization facilities, and has supplied 45 WtE plants over the past 30 years.
