Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Secures Third European Waste-to-Energy Plant Order

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction is gaining recognition for its technological prowess by consecutively winning orders for Waste to Energy (WtE) plants in Europe.

Doosan Lentjes, Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction's German subsidiary, announced on the 17th that it recently signed a contract to supply equipment for the WtE plant in Warsaw, Poland, with EPC company POSCO Engineering & Construction. The contract amount is approximately 67 billion KRW. This supply contract marks the third order in the European WtE market following the 220 billion KRW WtE plant in Olsztyn, Poland, in August last year, and the 120 billion KRW WtE plant in Dinslaken, Germany, in October.

The plant, commissioned by MPO, the municipal waste management company of Warsaw, will process about 730 tons of municipal solid waste generated daily by approximately 850,000 local residents, supplying 20MW of electricity and heat. Upon completion, it will become the largest WtE plant in Poland. Doosan Lentjes plans to supply two boilers and nitrogen treatment equipment, among other main units, by 2024.

WtE plants are facilities that convert various combustible waste generated in 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 sites, making them increasingly popular recently. In particular, the European WtE market is experiencing an increase in new orders due to rising demand for replacing aging plants and policies restricting waste landfills.

Park Hong-wook, Head of Power Service BG at Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction, emphasized, "We will actively target the European WtE market, where about 80 new orders are expected by 2025 due to strengthened waste environmental standards."
