A 5000 square meter waste to energy facility planned to be built in Maghtab by 2023 will address 40 per cent of Malta's total waste usage, Minister for the Environment Jose Herrera announced today.
The facility will be based on a technology known as 'Moving Grate Combustion', which is the most common type (40 per cent) of waste to energy technology, according to Paul Firth , director of Firth Resource Management who were handed the task to lead the study.
The plant would generate about 69,000 Mwh whilst the plant waste capacity would be 114,000 tonnes per annum.
With the introduction of this facility, recycling at source will no longer be voluntary.
