...and energy.
In the biomass power plant, we transform non-recyclable waste wood into green energy. Twence produces electricity for approximately 150,000 households on an annual basis. Energy that comes from the biomass power plant, from the composting and fermentation plants, and from the Twence solar parks is 100% green. More than half of the energy from our waste-to-energy plant is sustainable. We also produce heat and steam. In Enschede, several city districts and businesses are heated with hot water generated from non-recyclable waste wood. The University of Twente and the FC Twente stadium, for example, get their heat from Twence. Twence supplies steam for industrial applications, including for salt production at Nobian. The total amount of heat that we supply is enough for more than 100,000 households. This avoids the use of massive amounts of natural gas and enables us to make the region even more sustainable, as well as contribute to the Regional Energy Strategy Twente (RES Twente)
